Ordered one of the new LRP-07 compatible Rapid Config Hand Guards as soon as they put them up on the JP site and it showed up today. Install is very easy and fit was perfect on my rifle. I went with the 15.5" version to replace the 12.5" Modular Hand Guard that the rifle came with from JP. Based on my non-calibrated "hand scale" (i used my right hand), the 15.5 RCHG seemed to weigh the same as the 12.5" MHG, so no obvious change in weight.
The RCHG comes with a couple of sling studs and with the new design, they simply screw into holes on the guard -- no more backing plates needed! I like the smooth finish on the RCHG better than the MHG's sort of textured finish too. Before and After pics attached.
Overall quite happy with this product. Thanks JP!
