This 9-EX is almost a 5 star product. It is excellent in that it is one of the only alloy rails you can purchase that will work with an Adams Arms gas piston system. The finish is standard anodizing. The design is very well made, and you can mount small picatinny rails just about anywhere, without having huge quad rails bulging all over the place. The fit is super tight, and doesn't move. The design allows you to use the original mil-spec barrel nut. When installed, it prevents your barrel nut from ever coming loose, by having anti-rotation tabs on the top rail. The only gripe I have, is that the holes on the lower front that allow you to tighten the set screws on the gas block, need to be relieved just a little more to prevent scratching of the finish. The holes are just slightly off (a little high), thus your Allen wrench inserts at an angle, and makes it difficult to tighten the gas block screws. Other than that, once it is installed, it is without a doubt the nicest hand guard I have on any of my rifles.Pros: very light, tight fitCons: gas block access holes

Handguards are a dime a dozen these days, so make your dollar count. The Samson line is incredibly well thought out and functional. If you are in search of a slim line forend that you can run slick or customize, placing picatiny, hand stops, bipod adapter, foregrips, QD cups anywhere you want along its length, in 15 increments (0,15,30,45,60, etc. rather than just 30,60,90…) then you've found it. This series of handguard attaches by clamping onto two machined aluminum heat transfer collars that surround the OEM type barrel nut std on your AR. There is no need to remove the original barrel nut to instal. If there is no sight tower on your gun then it simply can slide over the barrel…providing the accessories you attach don't interfere! Once aligned by the anti-rotation tabs machined into the rail, you simply tighten down onto the barrel nut/mounting plate hardware. As with a lot of Free float hand guards, the longer, the less stable. Not the case with the Samson-EVO's. Ive used carbine, mid length, and on this custom 3gun competition rifle, the 15" hand guard is rock solid. I've ran it several weeks now and other than loosening the screws and applying some blue loctite after I was assure it was what I wanted and where, it is staying put! Accessory modules attach w/ screws via backing plates that engage groves along the inside of the tube. Once set up, I had to remove one of mine and fish around the gas block holding in place with a section of cleaning rod or a 1/8" dowel. This is the only reason why I gave it a 4 for setup, rather than a 5. It's not as simple to arrange accessories as a typical quad rail, but that's the sacrifice of having a slimmer, lighter tube. On the up side there's definitely more versatility! The bottom line is, if you've familiarized yourself with the features of this product and understand the value of being able to locate accessories where YOU want them, not where you have to mount them, then there is NO reason not to buy this item. As far as there being any issue with handrail being pulled off, as stated in previous review, I put my guns through extreme conditions and do not find this to be a likely issue. If you needed extra assurance, placing red loctite between free float tube and spacers or even drilling and tapping a small machine screw is possible. The fact is, installed correctly and properly torqued down, its just not gonna happen.Buy with confidence….I'm back for no. 6!!!Pros: Slim, stable, customizable Cons: May require some fore thought.

I bought this for an Adams Arms piston build. It wasn't too hard to install and feels pretty solid. That said its going to be a serious pain in the a$$ to add any rail sections with this combo. Adams came out with a lo pro set up after I built this and would be the way to go instead. The Evolution is very light yet sturdy.

This was the perfect choice for my Adam Arms mid-length piston gun. The hand guard fit was perfect and once I got the piston off of the barrel the installation was a slam dunk. The is a very well thought out hand guard. The fit is perfect and the flexibility to attach picatinny rails at almost any angle is great. I highly recommend this hand guard.

Ok, so finding a rail system to work with AA piston….not fun. Pros: it works, but does take a little effort to install. Cons: Have to save lunch money to buy additional picatinny rail panels for hand guard. Overall, for the price it works.
