It also can fit SANYO 9.6V 1700mah battery (4x4 type). The handguards are moulded of high density black polymer. These C33 handguards are perfect replacements for existing handguards, and the rubber rail covers add a level of comfort not found with standard handguards. For wholesales, please email to combatclub_net@hotmail.com Price US$50.00" CombatClub Upon opening the box: This particular handguard was provided very graciously by Combat Club. It comes with just the two foregrips. Upon opening the box I was quite pleased by the color of the handguard. It is a nice matt black and not too shiny as is sometimes the case with TM foregrips, particularly used ones. The handguard seems extremely nicely built upon holding and is bit more flexible then most. Comparing it side by side to the TM standard foregrip it is about 2 mm longer. The thickness is about the same though it does look longer and sleeker once installed. The inside is a bit more boxish rather then the rounded TM ones.
Fitting Tools required ? Just a allen key and 3-5 minutes.
Like most replacement handguards you will have to loosen the 2 screws on the outer barrel assembly and slide it out, put one of the handguards in place (the lower one is probably easier as this allows you to grip the gun as well as tighten the screws ) and then slide it back down so that it fits correctly. After this simply replace the top handguard and try turning the grip in your hand, if it turns about then it is too loose. Repeat the above procedure till they are sitting snugly.
The rubber covers are a bit loose and though they would not fly off, you will not be able to comfortably use the gun with the bottom one attached, as it tends to move in your hand, mainly due to the fact that it does not lock in place like the TM Rail Covers. If you take it off and use the handguard with it on the bare handguard this will not be a problem. The entire handguard is extremely flexible and well made and would not cause discomfort holding onto the rail, mainly due to the fact that the rail itself is made out of high density polymer and is moulded into the foregrip rather then the standard TM ones which are metal.
Which battery ? Mini batteries will fit rather nicely inside but you will struggle to get anything more then a 9.6 1100maH saddle battery inside this handguard. Though even for the most power hungry users this should suffice for the day. Using the C33: The closest thing this particular handguard can be compared to is the RIS Units out there but once you compare the prices, there is no real competition.
The forward handgrip feels extremely well held in place and does not move about as one would expect since this being not a metal rail. Having picked up the entire gun from the forward grip I have not noticed any wobble on the grip / rail at all and feels very secure. The same applies for the LAM unit, it is not moving about on the rail and is sitting secured down. Conclusion: If you are contemplating buying a RIS for your M4 and are not too sure if you want to spend the money sourcing a complete unit then this should definitely be on your list. Sure, it does not come with 4 rails like most RIS units do but the two which it does can pretty much fit all rail accessories and in most cases are more then enough. Other then the fact that no one else is making a similar product to this at this moment in time and the relative low cost of this handguard and the general usefulness of the rails make this a perfect replacement handguard set. For $3 + Shipping 5 you cant go too wrong.
Note the C33 will fit the New TM M733, but it requires the removal of the new 'realistic' ring at the receiver end of the grip.
