jkrispies Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 As an update, I've received my Smoke Composites handguard, and while I've only been able to "use" it in mock up, the thing is absolutely amazing. From the quality of the carbon fiber to the barrel nut to M-Lok capability, I'm not sure that I'll look anywhere else when I need a future forearm. Link to comment

Bwillis Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I just called and placed my order at smoke composite, I can’t praise John and Aura enough for helping me with deciding what to order. Link to comment
Bwillis Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Ordered Monday arrived today with a handwritten note from John. I will never by a handguard for another company. Link to comment

TNREDNECK Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 That’s the 12 inch that I have on my gun I think you would need the same size . The MBX is barrel. Is shorter then the JP , mine is 14.5 pinned and welded with the titianum comp . Can’t wait to shoot it . Link to comment

Shooting innovations 14.5 barrel with an adm comp is what I went with, John made a 13.5 handguard. Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 That’s cool was there a extra charge for the 13.5 ? Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Shot it yesterday it feels great and shot excellent in my hand , I am going to have to put one on my AR 22 now Link to comment
ABQautoxer Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Beautiful. I sent them an email about getting one but I assume everyone was at SHOT this past week so hopefully they get in touch this week. Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 ABQ call them and tell them your competion shooter %20 off . They only take pay pal online and I don’t use them , John is the owner his assistant is Aura both great to deal with . Yea she told me John was going to shot . Link to comment
r7s Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Do you think the Smoke handguard is stiff enough to run with a bipod for precision rifle? Link to comment

Yes I would think so, but I have not tried it. I have not felt it flex in any way, it's incredibly stiff. Link to comment
Rolex Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have two from ISLER- never any issues very strong and stable. Link to comment
r7s Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thank you ABQ and Rolex. I have seen pictures of the Isler mount so I think I understand it. How does the Smoke mounting system work? The barrel nut appears to be low profile. I am imagining that there must be another sleeve that mounts to the barrel nut... Link to comment

r7s Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes, I saw that barrel nut on the Smoke Composites website, but the outer diameter of the nut seems smaller than the ID of the handguard so I wondered if there was another metal sleeve that mounts to the nut that in turn to the handguard. Still a bit puzzled. Link to comment
