Where I can purchase the newly interrupted rail handguard? Wishing there will be other color options.
I would love to see a quality, budget build.
I use breek arm’s war hammer charging handle on all my rifles.. 55$ .. can’t beat it
You guys at Brownells are always posting hot tips for building this or that, upgrading this or that… WHEN are you going to reach the DIY crowd and make 80% kits?
Yes, I would love to see a budget build with that and get your thoughts. I actually bought that Hangard with bolt carrier group combo from Brownells and I love it.
I purchased one of these prior to this video and I agree it’s a good option. The wedge lock up is solid and easy to do.
Absolutely, a budget build. Thanks.
Can you say " Awesome “ again!
Not bad. I still like Aero's ATLUS handguards better, especially for the similar price range. I'm using one for a 20" 6.5 Grendal upper build. Just need a barrel, bolt & brake now.
What upper receiver vise block?
Yes vote for budget/quality AR video as suggested!
100 schpeckles! Wow!
Glad to see Klaus Nomi's voice dropped and he's doing well.
Who wouldnt be interested in a quality/budget build.
Well except for the Gucci owner who bought the name.
Breaks war hammer charging handles are nice also
Quality budget build would be very interesting to me. Thank you for all the information you provide.
been a big fan of their charging handles, without a doubt the best product for the money
Less than 100 Dapper Dan's, man!
Yes! A quality budget build by Caleb sounds awesome!
would love to see a brownells budget build
What's the gas block set screw torque value?
Caleb, where'd you get that flannel?
Is Breek associated with Bear Creak?
"Quality/Budget" is my middle name.
You actually sold me on this handguard. I know Breek makes good products but for $90 I wasn't sure if this would be good.
I like the breek arms and kak rails. Currently have Midwest industries combat rails on my rifles though
Bummer, no anti-rotation tabs below the picatinny rail like most quality handguards…
Their warhammer charging handle are great
I'm wondering can someone just replace their handguard on their AR-15 with a different one without having to replace the barrel nut that comes with it cuz I'm just wondering because I had a 10 and a half inch barrel AR-15 and I got a longer fly shider to make it 16 inches long but I'm just wondering could I just replaced the handguard or would I have to replace the barrel nut to mount the handguard on my rifle since mine already has a shorter handguard on it anyway keep up the amazing YouTube videos
Yes do the quality budget Brownells build.
And a trick that I found that helps align gas block is a piece of spaghetti. Yes I said a piece of spaghetti. Break of a piece before you put on your gas block. Make it just below the hole. Slide your gas block on. And turn your barrel overand let the spaghetti fall into the hole. Tighten up the gas block then take cleaning rod or something and turn your barrel with the gas block back over so the spaghetti fall back down and run your rod down the barrel and break the spaghetti off. Then just dump out the broken piece's of spaghetti. It doesn't hurt the barrel or get stuck in the barrel or nothing because it's just a piece of spaghetti. Bam your gas block is aligned. There may be easier ways buts that's just a trick I've seen that works if you just are not sure on how to light up the holes. Maybe this helps someone that's just starting out building their first AR. It's just a neat truck I have picked up over the years that seems to work pretty well. It has always worked for me if there is no dimple and my first one I was not sure where to put the dimple. Yes I know that you can tight tighten that one set screw down to use as a dimple it's the same way some align it from the factory since when you turn your gas block back around it lines up perfectly but if you don't know that it cant remember exactly how to do it the spaghetti truck works well.
Hope this helps anyone that is just starting out building.
Would this fit a superlative piston gas block?
Do a video of mounting a scope to a No. 4 Lee enfield
Love when Caleb pops up on my subscription feed.
Great video very informative please do the budget video
Another great video! Thank you
Thank you Caleb for acknowledging that the AR in AR-15 stands for Americas Rifle..
I like 13.7s on my 16s
A couple of friends have the Breek Arms RG2 Handguard they are good for the price. If Breek Arms would have used alignment tabs, I would probably own a couple of them.

Yes please on the quality budget build! Would love to see a build followed by a torture and accuracy test.
The only thing I don't care for is that there is no anti-rotaton. I think the BCM uses the same locking mechanism, but they add a metal anti-rotation tab. The hand gaurd looks solid though.
The price doesn’t matter if the rail doesn’t have anti-rotation tabs. Torque it down all ya want, but after that barrel nut and rail get cookin you’ll EVENTUALLY have a rail that’s movin on ya. If you’re the “typical” gun owner and only shoot a couple boxes a couple times a year than you’ll probably never have any issues. Plus, on the aesthetic side, you see a gap between them rail and the receiver without any anti-rotation tabs &/or the rail made to come back past the receiver slightly similar to MI and others.
God bless~
