I haven’t ever used one either. I want to use a heavy Saturn barrel, so I am going to go with the carbon fiber hand-guard to offset the weight.I’ve never used a carbon fiber hand guard, it’s an interesting concept.
I don’t know if you could go wrong with either one.
I do shoot supressed. I am leaning towards the Faxon in case there are any issues. I trust they would take care of it.Make sense to me, especially if you hang a suppressor off the end of your barrel.
I'd be curious on the durability of a carbon fiber hand guard with it being attached to bipods/tripods in different weather.
I saw this one but the low reviews scared me.
There is also this, under 8oz for the 15” and a whole lot cheaper
I got one. So far so good. But I wouldn't expect it to be combat durable. It's pretty dainty. For the price though. Worth trying. I got my 20" 556 build under 6# with optic no can.I saw this one but the low reviews scared me.

Great feedback. And nice rifle.FYI I have and use JAG, but not in an AR.
I designed a lightweight hunting chassis and used their hanguard for the build. It's a very nice handguard built by a very knowledgeable (and good) person.
Definitely two thumbs up for JAG.

Great hand guard. That is about 7 oz heavier than the ones I posted. I am looking to cut weight.Have you thought about a Lancer? I run several

3 seconds of googling says 3.65oz
Thanks! Forgot to mention, I prefer their SFH version to the Ultralight. You can definitely tell it's sturdier and I'm not worried about the slight increase in weight.Great feedback. And nice rifle.
Interesting, I had not seen those before. How have they held up?I was shopping for a carbon fiber hand guards a couple years ago to drop some weight off my night time rigs.
When the smoke cleared, I went with these from Dark Hour instead, made with a combination of magnesium & aluminum.
