Aridus Imperium Handguard for 1301T

Anyone here have LTT heat shield? Looks good and has cable management.
I have it on a 1301. It's nice. Bites into your hands a bit when clamping down hard on it but not terrible. The cable management is awesome.

I bought this gun used. Not sure what company the previous owner used to get the heat shield... but he said he had to have it imported.

Nice! probably #####h…

Im Leaning towards LTT vs GGnG

Don’t you guys find the LTT design quite odd looking because there’s no connection between receiver and heat shield and the front end is bulky? Imperium is balanced but it’s going to be expensive.

The gas system or action is exposed under the mlok slots? That feels like a bad design...

I'm also having issues figuring out how the gas system works if it's exposed to the elements like that? Wouldn't gas just piss out the mlok slots and not cycle the action?...
No. The b-link/blink system is a self regulating gas piston system as near as I can tell. There is a sealed gas chamber under the barrel with 2 stages of gas ports. The first stage is very much oversized and enacts on the piston (overgassed). As the piston moves to the rear and acts on the bolt, the second stage (regulation), bleeds, vents the excessive, unused gas through a secondary set of gas ports. Think SKS or Piston driven AR...only 12 gauge and slung under the barrel. The shroud (handguard) protects the piston and return spring.

The result being that all shells, from mild trap loads to heavy turkey loads. cycle the action reliably. As 1ABNDT stated, I think the potential for muck and s hit getting around the action through the Aridus m-lok slots is a concern, they can be tastefully blocked off.
 
I have tha Aridus handguard and their adapter and it fit perfectly. I know GG&G say that it will only fit with their modified Zhukov handguard but I still bought knowing this and it worked out great.
They want more people to buy their Aridus copied products. Lol
 
I subscribed to their customer email list and they informed me the guard was now available again, but they don't ship to Kanuckitan. I'll happily give you the business. Do you stock their CROM in RMR as well? Can I pre-order?
TacOrd is the best place to get scatter parts. All the goodies on mine came from them. 🐐
