My suspicion that they would cheap out and use the commercial A2 handguards has been confirmed. Those floppy black heat shield handguards are pieces of shit! And that Delta assembly looks very shoddily assembled. That sliding back and forth is pathetic. I’m just going to assume the rifle receiver extension is commercial 6061 as well. They missed an opportunity to put out a solid rifle.
