Does anyone here have experience with the UTG Pro series of free float rails?

[Tanman2003]

They seem to be pretty good and very affordable. I'm thinking about getting one. Any thoughts?

Dang, that is weird because I was thinking the same thing, but hadn't gotten around to asking. I hear the PRO line is much better quality, and supposedly made in the US.

No experience but there are better options out there for only a little more. What exactly are you looking for?

I do, installed one for my brother in law...was straight forward and extremely easy...its very light, even in the 15" variety...dunno if you can see it, but its in my avi

I put one on my wife's AR, she has small hands, so the slim foregrip works well for her. It's solid. I'd buy another.

I'm looking for a slim, light, sturdy, affordable free float hand guard for an 18" barreled AR. I'm thinking 13" or 15" length.

Is it sturdy? What do you think about the barrel nut? Would you buy one for yourself?

Mine was drop in, never mind, but I but some UTG products, their quality has come a long ways.

Is it sturdy? - Seems to be ok, it locks up to the barrel nut insert via 6 screws

What do you think about the barrel nut? - not sure i love the barrel nut having an "insert" which is actually what the hand guard attaches to

Would you buy one for yourself? - at the $130 that he spent...i can't see not adding a few more dollars and getting something, even lighter, with a better rep, but the UTG Pro isn't a POS...to answer the question...no.
