Either remove the QD sling mounts or give them steel inserts, especially considering the price of this hand guard. Aluminum QD sling mounts wear out quickly.
Before rejection system is still having issues with ejecting casings, the side rejection Port stove pipes every other round. That's for the Mantis bipodder it's a solid product but the finishing in Black indoor FDE it's not reliable and he flakes off extremely easily
With the built-in bipod legs I'm assuming trying to mount an OBR suppressor isn't going to work unless its length OBR is veddy veddy short. Am I right? I'm trying to keep my length and swing weight down.
@@DesertTechUT please confirm that the coating on the FDE a black are full anodizing on the handguard . There is a comment two down from my original comment noting the finish is flaking off, that is not possible with a metal anodizing
I want the same thing! They're all awkwardly short handguards with long overall lengths when the suppressor is included, although it's not terrible on this 20" barrel. Suppressor under the handguard is the future. So the handguard can fully function as a handguard, covering both barrel and suppressor. There are some minor engineering challenges, but modular suppressor covers and handguards are getting better and better. I'm hoping for an integrally suppressed MDRx, integrals almost always have the handguard over the suppressor. It works. Better ergonomics. Seems silly to scrunch up with a suppressed Micron when an MDR could have a suppressor under the handguard. Especially handguards as great as these Mantis bipod ones, which really make the rifle more attractive overall. A suppressor under a handguard like this would be beautiful.
@@hikeskool Not really. It can be a problem with adapting a handguard not designed for it, but it's not an issue when you design for it. All that's needed is some insulation, most of the time just an air gap. It might get uncomfortable under the suppressor, but if there's a handguard there then it should remain safe to touch an a vertical grip would make shooting comfortable even if the handguard is too warm to hold on to. This doesn't seem to be an issue with any integrally suppressed rifle. They all have suppressors within handguards designed for it. Also, most of us aren't firing full-auto. Machine guns can be more challenging, but machine gun suppressors are improving. Forgotten Weapons just did a video on a new one that used 3D metal printing (laser sintering) to create miniaturized air-cooling tubes like the old Vickers machine gun. The exterior of that suppressor, designed for sustained fire from machine guns, should remain much cooler than conventional suppressors. Suppressor covers show how even the hottest suppressors can be covered. Effective principles for heat protection and dissipation are demonstrated from rigid covers from companies like Modtac and Magpul. Handguards may be thicker if they go over suppressors, but I want to be able to grab and manipulate the rifle without burning myself or my equipment. If the handguard is thick, I can put a grip on it. The point of a handguard is to guard my hands, and with suppressed rifles the handguard is usually doing half the job, and it's the less important half. The suppressor is the hot thing I most need covered, especially with short barrels that put the suppressor where my hand wants to go. There are ways to make it work well, and so I believe we're just living in a transitional period where suppressors are inelegantly just stuck on to the muzzle of firearms not designed to be shot suppressed. As suppressed shooting becomes more popular, so will handguards that cover the suppressor as part of the barrel, as an integral part of the firearm.

*Desert Tech* Awesome, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
Looks overbuilt and expensive. I want it have a Blessed weekend all 👌
I want one but it will most likely be Christmas 2024. What size muzzle redirect fits in it. Great work

Now if only they could open it up enough to fit over muzzle devices or even a can

Yes, OTB suppressors wont work very well with this.
@@DesertTechUT Well, there's no shame in my game if I get a 16" Mantis and work from there.
Does this have slots on the bottom of the handguard for an angled grip that would not interfere with the bipods?
Is the finishing in the handguard anodizing or powder coating?
Anodized
@@DesertTechUT please confirm that the coating on the FDE a black are full anodizing on the handguard . There is a comment two down from my original comment noting the finish is flaking off, that is not possible with a metal anodizing
@@chrisn9657 Blk Lbl says they are anodized. If you have an issue, I would contact them.
Need to see if I can find a suppressor that would fit with the Micron and this. I know it’s nuts, but I can dream. Halo Battle Rifle in 2022.

@@Paelorian good overview thanks. I've seen suppressor covers but obviously those will conflict with "tucking" under most handguards.
Hot Stuff baby!
do you still have connection to silverback airsoft ?
Yes, they are licensed replicators of our products, and we sell them on our website.
@@DesertTechUT do you know when ore if they will release the Mdrx as an replica?
@@tobi_0585 no idea, you'd have to ask them.
To be honest, I'm not sure why you guys don't post links to your website in your description.
Tech doesn't like links to sites that sell firearms. Its a quick way to get Zucced.
@@DesertTechUT I have been enlightened...jesus I love censorship.
