j.peace Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Buffing isn't going to take off NiB... unless you're running it on a coarse wheel with a heavy abrasive. Even then, I'm sure you'd know if you went too far. I worked a NiB upper receiver with some 000 steel wool and never worried about it.Thanx robo. No worries then.

TexA-R Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Does anyone know of any other 15 inch handguards that are compatible with the MATEN? I believe they have to work with the dpms barrel nut and with the high profile upper. I've looked at the following Troy Samson Midwest Industries SWS Apex Right now I'm leaning more toward the samson or troy, if anyone knows of any others, i'd appreciate it if you please let me know.

Robocop1051 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 As far as quality goes... SWS and APEX far surpass the others. Lancer and JP/VTAC both make 15" free float tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexA-R Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I don't like the real cylindrical look. I like the angle and edges that the sampson has. But the troy does look really good. I'll look into lancer and jp. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 SLR Rifleworks has an interesting rail coming out. Not a lot of info on it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
