Magpul Handguards

People liked the round Magpul Handguards on the CAR much better than the standard triangle Magpul Handguards on the Colt SP1 and the M16 “mattel” rifles. I spent a lot more time shooting the round Magpul Handguards than I ever did the triangular ones. But I do like the retro look now. RatTerrier

overall length is identical. aimpoint compm4 takes AA batteries, the Pro takes a non-standard battery (2L76 or DL1/3N). PRO comes with flip-up covers, aimpoint compm4 comes with rubber bikini. aimpoint compm4 will last 6-7 years left on a middle setting, PRO will last 3 years left on a middle setting. Personally I think the aimpoint compm4 is worth it if you aren’t a total weight weenie because of the AA batteries. Otherwise it’s really just personal preference. gospadin
