Palmetto did send my upper with the wrong color hand guard, which they happily rectified by sending me an appropriate replacement. And there was an issue with the fit of the hand guard. Sucker was really wedged on there. Was either an out of spec hand guard cap, Magpul's production run for that batch of hand guards was slightly off spec, or the FSB was mounted a bit too far to the rear. They offered to take the whole upper back, but I'm a handy guy and had it squared away in less than 30 minutes.

Depending on what you want to hang off your rifle, you may not necessarily need rails. There are kits out there that you can use to mount things to a Magpul hand guard.

Thanks. I'll check them both out.
