    Hey guys... Back from SHOT and letting my brain heal. The handguard has an anti rotation pin between the upper and rail. The first initial handguards as stand alone will be 7075, then later AlLi. Mega and I have a profound relationship. I help with some design work, and they support me with cutting chips. The Mega handguard and mine are virtually the same, and will be listed at the same price. The lockup design was their brain child, but refined by me, as well as the style and design is mine. We are sharing in what I believe is one of the finest combative handguards in the industry.

    Cheers, Jim Hodge

    What do you think of the ADAC pin by AXTS, texasjim? I picked up a forged ADAC lower from Rainier Arms, which IIRC are also machined by Mega, and it's a good fit for your space gun, IMO!

    Outstanding.
    Can't wait to get hands on with one.
    Before now, the only way to really get a 7075 handguard was with a monolithic rail platform.

    I finally got 1K rounds through my Mod 2 (It was at SHOT and Great American Outdoor til 16 Feb). All suppressed with no cleaning, with the last 500 in a nasty 3-day South Texas rain/mud storm.

    It's plenty accurate, mine shot around .7 with 77GR Black Hills red box. Even with 70Gr TSX, it was minute of Javelina brain out to 250 with a 2 MOA T1. The hand guard needs to be held to understand the magic, it is very well though out and totally devoid of a sharp edge. If anyone remembers the Clark Custom "Meltdown" 1911 package, you'll recognize the feel when you grab the Mod 2 handguard. As an aside, Mega is going to be selling a version of the hand guard as well.

    I'm not sure when they are shipping, but I believe it will be a hit.

    I want a couple... Nice alloy nice forgings. I wonder if the lower receiver small parts fit conventional lowers? The mag release will not but what about the bolt catch?

    I so need these....

    Bolt catch does not, I don't believe.

    Mag catch is a Norgon, you should be good.

    The ambi bolt catch is obviously proprietary but everything else should be standard sized parts.

    Hodge Defense AU Mod 2

    I do NOT comprehend the "hate" expressed about this product. I'm a Mech Engr so I follow (clearly) what is being done and I approve.

    I really didn't want another rifle or another complete lower and matched upper but DAMN.

    I'm in.

    From what I gather it was more about how it was released than about the actual product itself? Idk.

    I'm def in for an upper if nothing else.
