Easy to install and looks great.
I was told it wouldn't fit on my Diamondback DB10 and I decided to to try and install anyway and it fit perfectly. Just make sure you order high profile and your golden. The only issue I didn't think about was what I need to install. I didn't have ant vice blocks for an AR10 rifle so it took a little more creativity to get the job done. Overall I'm vary happy with my purchase. Definitely recommend.

Great save!
Great customer service. I had ordered a different rail which turned out to be backordered and then backorder again. I called customer service to cancel. The young lady who took my call offered to check and see what in-stock products fit me needs. The tech people suggested this rail. It does everything I need, is well made, was easy to install and looks great. Also, it was substantially less than the rail I originally ordered. I forgot to get the service rep's name because she deserves a shout out and credit for a save.

Good for the money
Trying to find an AERO M5 handguard is like trying to ammo, so being the impatient person I am, I tried this rail out. For $80 it fit perfectly with my aero receiver, and the finish is almost exactly the same. I did notice some dings/chipping on the sharp corners of the rail out of the box, but this is meant as a work horse. All in all I have over 100 rounds through it with no issue, and I'm impressed with how well it fits.

its worth its price
Seems good it color matches well to aero. But it DOES NOT fit the aero M5e1 upper as someone else � mentioned. Everything about it seems good. And an affordable option for my AR10 build. 1111111

amazing handguard for the money.
This is a badass handguard for those looking for an affordable and durable handguard this is it. It matches perfectly with the m5 upper from aero precision. I like their design and the fact that they put a pin bolt on top of the guard so that it won’t move makes it much better. I will def recommend

Much better than anticipated.
So I bought this because it was available at a reasonable price and I needed a handguard to complete an AR-10 build. For the price I'm blown away. This handguard mounted up with my Aero Precision M5 upper with ease. Never ran into a single issue. No need to time the barrel nut for the gas tube as it goes directly over the nut. Everything locks down real tight at the manufacturers recommended torque specs. The Handguard does not come with a proprietary barrel nut claw foot wrench so you will have to buy one which adds to the cost. The coating is not as good as what comes on an Aero Precision or higher grade handguard. Aside from that It is a great, affordable addition to my Aero Precision DPMS .308 build. With an 18" barrel resting on a bipod at the length of the Handguard there is no flex even when leaning into it. I'd recommend it if cost is a factor in your decision or availability. I trust it to hold up over time. Might need a touch up pen every now and then for scuffs.

High quality, perfect fit, excellent value for the $
Bought this for my AR-10 build. Easy online experience with description being accurate. Fast shipping and proper shipping protection for the handguard. Easy installation on my rifle with the handguard being exactly what I want for my build, with great quality and fitment of parts. Will be ordering a couple more.

Great parts with a great reputation, sold by a great company
I've bought multiple items from opticsplanet. I've heard word of mouth a few hit and miss reviews but I have had nothing but positive feedback. Not to mention, they accept PayPal which is awesome. Opticsplanet has earned a returning customer, that's for sure.

.308 hand guard
Good fit. Solid hand guard . Good price. Bought the .556 version also for another build. I’d buy again. I guess I have to write more so this will post. So I guess buy one of you want they’re pretty good.

Very happy with my new handguard
I am very pleased with the 15 inch handguard for the AR308. I looked for a long time ( close to a year ) to find one that I liked. I did not want the front to be cut straight down, and this has a nice profile. The center of the sides are longer than the top, and bottom. I will be looking for this item for other uppers if I decide to do future builds.

Better than the last one
I bought this for a S&W M&P10 and it looks good. Light weight and very functional with all the mlok slots. My 4 star rating is because the "anti rotation" device would not fit and would probably bend the gas tube anyways. (Why doesn't every company just make the tabs that secure to the receiver and will not allow it to rotate no matter what?) Anyways it seems after I tightened the two screws down really tight there is no rotation for now. Definitely better than the guntech handguard it had on it before!!

HG Review
What can I say Aero makes quality parts. Finished my 6.5 build with this hand guard and was impressed with how the fit was precise. The Picatinny rail was precisely matched with my upper, no color variations, no spacing, it is a perfect fit. Dont make the mistake of trying to fit this to any other upper. It is strictly for the M5E. Great product but a little pricey

Good Handgaurd, Beware of size
BEWARE~This particular model may need a barrel nut. I had to order one after the fact because there wasn’t one in the box This is obviously not going to be a poor quality Handguard. The profile is larger than other being a BAR style. Also check your barrel nut wrench. Wheeler wrenches are not compatible.

Nice Handguard Design
The Handguard is well made nice light aluminum. I really like the desigh.I was looking at an Atlas from Aero but they are high profile. My upper receiver is a billetlow profile. i like the ability to wrap my hand around the handguard and not have the top rail bitting into my hand when shooting standing. The timing washers in the photograph were not included with the Handguard. The anodizing is a bit off too. I reminds me of parkerizing a bit too gray for my liking however I was going to Duracoat my rifle anyways so its no big deal to me. For the money its well worth the investment. I have a billet upper receiver that will not allow the locking tabs. I found it hard to locate a 308 low profile Handguard without the locking tabs that fit around bottom of the rail. This one is flat and fits up flush against the upper receiver. If you are not a perfectionist the Handguard is well worth the money.

15" m-lok handguard
Great quality and great price, barrel nut made from steel really durable and high quality corrosion resistant
-
You get what you pay for.
The quality is subpar. But then again it's $70. I won't bauy this item again. I paint it so I can't return it.

Good Handguard, NO SHIMS !
they do NOT sell the needed SHIMS with the product. they do NOT answer the PHONE. but if you have the patience to order your OWN SHIMS. you can save some money
-
What's lacking here
Good product, except. It does not include any shims. It really should.

Rail impressions for my Diamondback DB-10 308
I skeptically ordered this rail for my Diamondback DB-10 .308 rifle. It actually surprised me. Now, it's made pretty decent, except for the barrel nut they give you. It is very "Chines-esque", and no shims are provided to make sure of a tight lock up, and rail alignment with the screws. I did get it mounted straight, and seems to be mostly tight. I have not shot it yet to see if it loosens on me. The rail height did not exactly line up for my style of rifle. Most likely my style of rifle is the high mount pic rail. It's close, but not exact. For the price, it is a great deal. Very light, and seems to be very rigid. As long as your not building or own a competition rifle, I would recommend this product. Just be aware that there is no shims that come with the barrel nut. I'm guessing it's going to come loose on me during extended firing. We shall see. Good product for the money. 4 stars due to no shims. After extended use, I shall post the results.

Great rail
I like the rail, how it looks how it fits, the picatiny rails are to specs and lined up with my upper nicely I've had issues with other budget handguard in that area this one was great and looks great. Only reason for 4 stars is the barrel nut isn't something you can use a standard AR tool on and I couldn't use a torque wrench the way I wanted to. Other than that it's great and great price.
