Blk Lbl a scathing review

If a rifle handguard can't handle being dropped (not spiked like a football, mind you) onto the ground from waist height without being damaged or losing zero, they have absolutely no business marketing it as "professional grade," maybe "balsa wood grade" or "chinesium grade" might be more appropriate.
 
Maybe column a - #### material, maybe column b - You are not going to want to hear this, Professional grade for a professional end user, a professional doesn’t intentionally try and damage their equipment, I broke a mag 58 bipod and command basically said I broke it because I was to hard on it, which is true, I ####ing super maned onto the ground with a 12kg machine gun bipod extended, I learn a valuable lesson about the limitations of my equipment, took a week to source a new one in the field, #### breaks if you are hard on it, no professional end user will intentionally throw their tools around, I have seen plenty of weapons dropped sometimes during drills, off vehicles, towers on obstacle courses even into the ocean but none intentionally, if you are going to conduct a durability test on equipment expect to sacrifice that piece of equipment.
 
I'm still interested if BLK LBL has a bad production batch, or if this was abuse. Call me weird, but I wouldn't think the shroud should cave in from a drop?

What? Are you crazy? Everyone knows the FIRST THING you do when given new kit is spike it against the ground like you scored the game winning touchdown in the highschool state championships! lol
 
Didn’t he say he simply dropped it? Qd lets go, you eat ####, or heaven forbid you drop your rifle it should hold better than that. Their “professional grade” title reminds me of the line from Tommy boy.

Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box? Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of ####. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will.
 
Yeah I think he forgot that 90% of canadian fire arms owners never go anywhere but the range or back home with their gun. Anyone who takes these into the bush knows that #### happens. Lean it against a tree wrong, put it somewhere uneven and yeah it gets dropped. Kinda on you for not doing more research before spending that much but hindsight is 2020

Yeah he did, I am not sure why everyone is so hostile towards him.
 
What you expect? It's thin alum? If I took my cordless drill and drop it from the roof, should I not expect damage?

Professional grade doesn't mean it will withstand abuse. I crushed mags when I fell 10 feet with my 200lbs of weight behind it. Concrete, and plates, the mags took the force.
 
I moved it to the top rail of the rifle after and zero'd it. Then assessed to see if it held zero there.

Yes the handguard bent. It's advertised as "Professional grade". A drop test from waist height is well within expectations of maintaining function for "Professional grade".

In the Military we called military grade, sold to the lowest bidder. While non military soak that #### up to being tough. Ha I think everybody in the military has a story and gotten the look at how the F did you break that?

I remember a joke from an American site about locking two privates in a room with a blacksmith's anvil and coming back 30 minutes later to find that they broke it.
 
A cordless drill falling of a roof will most likely be fine.

Thank op for the post. I was looking at one of these but now Ill pass. Beside sratch you shouldnt be able to break anything from a gun if you drop it from waist height.
