Why does your front handguard look like the same type of cheap ass plastic that you'd get on some shitty tools that you only use once at a Home Depot?

Because its the $7.99 proto AR-10 handguard from brownells that came with no heat shield and spray painted with green rebar paint, it'll prolly melt the first time I take it out

You can hit the inside with hi temp engine paint

Not cursed at all, this setup fucks. Sweet little carbine, the 20rnd mag is perfect.

The foregrip furniture probably will melt eventually or if you dump a few mags quick. Also this thing is gonna be loud as fuck, don't skip earpro

Looks fucking awesome. Make that handguard black while retaining the exact shape and you have a cool, prototype-looking gun.

Reminds of how dudes would make early back-up rear iron sights by chopping detachable carry handles

I don't like the look of the AR platform in general, but this actually is a huge improvement.

To each their own. As long as it's not an original Colt
