tajjeep Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Here 'ya go! Midwest Industries AR-15 Slim Line M-LOK Handguard (joeboboutfitters.com)I appreciate the link, but my upper is slightly funky. After doing some research, apparently only Seekins and Aero make compatible handguards. My receiver has an internally threaded barrel nut with the hand guard mounting surface machined into the receiver. It was a good deal when I bought it a few years ago, but wish I would’ve just gone with a basic upper at this point.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamashooter Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Looks familiar but can't recall. What is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLShooter Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 3 hours ago, tajjeep said: I ordered the Griffin Armanent 9.5” HEDP barrel along with a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block today. Now to figure out a hand guard. The upper I have is an Aero m4e1 enhanced (I have a 15” hand guard for it currently left over from a rifle upper I never got around to). It needs a BAR style hand guard. I found an Aero 7” in stock. They also make a 9”, but I think that might be too tight for my big mitts to get the suppressor on and off. Time to do some research and see what’s out there. I think finding a compatible hand guard will be a lot easier than finding an upper right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Member that barrel length is measured back to the bolt face. A 9" guard may well be ahead of the muzzle end. Just a nuance that I have seen some guys overlook.

tajjeep Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well...according to UPS my barrel was delivered yesterday. No sign of it anywhere. I gave them today to see if there was a mix up and I made the call to customer service. They stated it was delivered to the wrong address and that they were going to send the driver to attempt to retrieve it. They told me I should start the claims procedure just in case. I am not very pleasant to be around right now.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamashooter Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Believe gshayd put many of us on to Matrix a few years ago. I have a few and remain appreciative of his Matrix opinion / recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjeep Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 This morning the package with the barrel and gas block was written off as lost. AR15 Discounts was pleasant to deal with and issued a refund. Now back to the drawing board.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smb5769 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 A refund? They should have reshipped using a different carrier maybe. I know one thing, some lucky bastiage got a free barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLShooter Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 They may well not have another or the current price would make more money over the refund if they do have one. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
