I LOVE that handguard!

My current pistol using mostly Aero parts. 10.5" 5.56 upper and 8" .300 upper. It will get SBR'd here shortly.

It's even better in person - so comfortable.
They make 2 versions - one with a continuous rail on top and this one with just the two sections front and rear.
I tend to grip my pistol on the mag well (hence the Ergo brand mag well grip), but this hand guard makes it so easy/comfy to grip without the top rail.
Plus the ingenious method of clamping it to the barrel nut and the smooth, angled area around it is way nicer than the typical cheapo attachment method using nuts and bolts.
I had fully intended on buying a cheap "ebay" handguard, but found this in the blem section on Aero's website for $75.
it was a wise choice.
These are my 2 fireball shooters! Both are 7.5" barrels...

My next slow-burn project is going to be a 300BLK budget build. I'm going to incorporate it with an 80% lower project.
It's really going to be a proof of concept for buying a factory built 300BLK "Pistol" or SBR.
I've got LPK, complete upper receiver, BCG, and charging handle. I'm looking to buy used, the buffer, spring, tube, brace, barrel, and handguard.
If I can find an adjustable gas block ill get one if not ill wait for a sale. Gas tube will be new.
Yeah, regular lower receiver, no magwell insert. Some people say the Endomag inserts are overpriced, which may be, but I didn't have to buy a magwell adapter or mags. I don't have any Glock or Colt mags, so I would have had to invest in those as well. I do have a crap ton of pmags. Mine have worked well, but I haven't shot it that much. Probably about 250 rounds.
Plus I can quickly replace my 9mm buffer with a carbine buffer and change the upper assembly and now I'm rockin' in 5.56!
