Anyone have experience with them? Seem more sturdy hand guard to upper fit wise. Thinking of getting one with the hand guard to put my white oak spr barrel onto. Currently on a PSA upper with PSA handguard that feels kind of light and flexy. Im paranoid about hand guard flex when shooting off a bipod even though I am cautious with the amount of load I use. Thoughts/experience with these uppers/hand guards?
 
I literally just got my 3rd set of these in today.

So here's some pics:

The above photo shows how the handguard interface is part of the upper. All forged as one piece. The pic below shows the barrel nut. The teeth protrude outwards towards the muzzle end, and they don't interfere with the gas tube.

The two pieces fit together nicely and are secured in place with 8 screws.

The rail blends well with the pic rail of the upper, and extends a little bit on each side of the upper for support against rotation.

I like designs like these for their added strength and features. Seekins, Larue, and many other companies have uppers similar to this. (But they usually cost a lot more $$$) Short of a monolithic, I think designs like these are the way to go.

I have put together three M4E1, and two M5E1 Aero sets. I think that they make a pretty good product. The Enhanced handguard is definitely a more robust design than the ATLAS handguards...but as much as I'm out banging around in the dark looking for hogs, I've yet to have an issue with the ATLAS.

The Enhanced is also a lot larger diameter, so you can run whatever gas block etc... under it. I actually prefer the thinner ATLAS.
