TomMcC Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Anyone have experience using these? I handled one Sat. and it seemed like a nice piece. Very light weight, the 15in. is supposed to be approx. 6 oz. Are they sturdy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This looks like the one my gunsmith has on his rifle. If it's the same, it seems okay and the price is good. It wasn't my favorite (not too much into the carbon) but for lightweight handguards, it seems good. Did it feel too thin to you? I am also wondering how strong they are...

The handguard is 2in accross. No, it felt just fine in my hand, some of the newer handguards are smaller than 2in. Aaron at AP verified that the 15in. does weigh 6 oz. including the mount. He also mentioned that only one person has ever returned one but not because it broke. Hopefully someone will come along here and relate his experience.

assaulter Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have one on order. Should have it soon. I've met Aaron of AP Customs a couple times. Very nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 One of the local guys here has one. It seems to be study and well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacspopo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I got my 15" 2 weeks ago. Love the light weight and it stays cool no matter what. It will move slightly but not enough to matter-Im guessing all 15" have some leverage working. I dont know how durable but its supposed to be incredibly strong AND AP is a good dude and am sure he will make good if any reasonable problem encountered.

trickpony Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The AP Custom carbon handguards are great pieces if you like the carbon feel and weight. I use 15" AP's on all my rifles and can't wait to get one for my LR-308. He'll soon have an added grippy solution for those of us that don't like the smooth feel of the carbon (that will work on Aluminum handguards too I suppose).

gng4life Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The grippy solution would be great, I don't like that really slick feel of most CF handguards. Thanks for the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
