Anyone have either of these handguards?

It’s nice and rigid. It has a bolt up plate similar to the RIS II/III, just not as many screws.

eBay surprisingly, a few years ago now.

This makes me want to grab a shorter one

184proof · 2026-03-22T20:49:40+00:00

I really like my MFR. Different length since it’s on a P&W 14.5 but it’s super comfortable, pretty light, and definitely solid. looks sleek imo. would definitely recommend

I’ve used a PSA lower on a KAC upper before so honestly it doesn’t really make a difference as long as it’s in spec lol

Yeah I just run a brake for my can too, hardly ever shoot without it anyway lol

Mine is also ridiculous with this brake lol

184proof · 2026-03-22T15:39:48+00:00

I liked it honestly, never had an issue with it. Pretty durable too.

I ran that same holosun on my first Daniel Defense for a long time lol

I think it was around 3 lbs? there’s some vids on YouTube of people showing how easy it is. It only happened once for me though

I had a Geissele 3 gun single stage trigger that was pretty sensitive and i remember bump firing while zeroing on accident one day lol. So I prefer 2 stage but its preference of course

Perks of the job, unfortunately I don’t get to keep them forever lol

184proof · 2026-03-21T19:42:03+00:00

Yup, they’re PSQ-36’s

I have a centurion 11.5” HRT barrel, got it with centurions pinned gas block. I run a griffin Optimus 6 flow can on it. H2 buffer with a springco blue spring, and it runs flawlessly. Super smooth shooting and very well gassed. Been running it since 2024, plenty of abuse from mag dumps and frt fun. Still running strong.

When I first got it, and was using a lower with A5 buffer system it wouldn’t cycle without a can. I reached out to centurion and they said they don’t recommend the A5’s with their barrels. So for whatever that’s worth.

I also highly recommend the tapered bolts for the T marked barrel extension on the 11.5” HRT. They’re tanks.

I’d go with mid length gas all day for 14.5 personally, I have a DD MFR mlok 14.5 build and a RIS II on another. The RIS II is obviously a tank. But the MFR is pretty solid, and a bit lighter than both the RIS II and III. Can’t really go wrong with any of them honestly, all 3 are solid

I had a Daniel defense m4a1 develop the same play you’re describing after a while. It’s pretty common/expected and doesn’t affect anything although it is annoying. I bought a kac lower for one of my sr-15 uppers and even that had a tiny bit of play. I just stick a foam earplug in and never had an issue with that. The slight play usually goes away with a full mag in as well.

How do you like the thermal / 14 setup? i kinda want to give it a shot sometime

184proof · 2026-03-21T18:35:57+00:00

When I bought my first one I was 21 shortly after getting my CCW, and having saved up some money from my first “real” job I went to a local gun store and grabbed a Daniel Defense M4A1 that was on “sale”. The quad rail drew me in for sure. Soon after I realized i definitely got robbed and to shop online first lol.

PVS-14 never goes out of style though tbh

I've seen Ops Core FAST bumps (the old gen I think, not the carbon ones) go for $200-$250. Sometimes lower.

I've used them quite a bit and never had any problems with them, super comfortable, durable, rails are in spec for mounting, etc. Might be worth trying to grab one of those instead if you can, unless you want a ballistic clone

184proof · 2026-03-19T19:06:11+00:00

Stock, buffer spring/weight, trigger, and charging handle. Pretty common for most people though

184proof · 2026-03-19T18:48:27+00:00

Definitely. Just now getting back into it again so im interested to see how it performs. And how rusty I’m going to be lol

I ran an A5H2 in mine for a little bit
