I have a SS15 on this rifle, pretty darn solid, little flex if any.
Here is a SS12 on a 6.8 I built. This is rock solid no flex.

Does anyone have the FDE version of this?
I've had the Midwest Industries Gen2 SS series handguard on my AR for about 6 months so far and figured I'd do a product review for ya'll...
Pros:
-Lightweight (7''-7.1oz, 9''-8.3oz, 10''-8.6oz, 12''-9.3oz, 15''-10.9oz)
-Made of 6061 anodized aluminum. The anodizing is holding up well so far.
-Made in the USA.
-The narrow profile helps you really "grab on" to the handguard and stabilize the rifle.
-Comes with 3 2.5'' rail sections for mounting whatever toys you have in mind. One of the rails has an anti-rotation QD socket for sling mounting. There's also a bipod stud that comes with the rail.
-Comes in OD green, FDE, and black.
-A barrel wrench is included (not the best but it is functional).
-The slots in the rail allow for good barrel cooling. The holes just below the rail also help the gas tube cool.
-The anti-rotational system works as advertised (better explanation/visualization in the video).
-The rail sections are contoured to the shape of the rail and mount flush so there's less chance of snagging.
Cons:
-The barrel nut has to be replaced. I don't think it's a big deal but it's just an extra step vs some competitors out there.
Here's the video review with a little shooting and a discussion/demonstration of the rails' properties:

will these fit over a shaved FSB?
Here is mine. I have not decided if it will sport a micro or scope. The magpul sights proved to be more than sufficient to check function after I cut down the front sight. I am very impressed and will be purchasing more. Attachment 14449
Anybody know of any covers that screw directly to these handguards? I haven't had the chance to see how hot it will get, but since some people have already complained about it I figure it is an issue. I'd rather not counter the light weight with rail sections just so I can install rail covers. I also don't want to wrap it in paracord. That just looks... less than desireable.
Believe they have some in development. They had some come out at Shot Show for their G2 Two Piece handguard and recently mentioned making molds for the G2 SS Series in regard to a handstop. So if they are doing that, then its not a stretch that they would be doing panels too. Jut a matter of timing.
