https://www.mentium-usa.com/pages/about-us They sell AR parts and are based out of a suburb of Houston, Texas. They don't say on the page if they make their own stuff or not. Just wondering if anyone has used any of their products, particularly a handguard. Lots of great reviews, but maybe that's all they post. Thanks Rick

I just bought and installed one this week. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Installation went well and no surprises. The top rail lines up extremely well when using the correct number or size washer to time the nut. The finish is strong and the mount is solid. For the $56 bucks I paid on Ebay I'm pretty satisfied right now. Time will tell how it holds up, but I'm shooting coyotes and paper, not rag heads so Im expecting it will more than meet my needs. The only thing I had "issue" with was the cheapo Allen wrenches included in the kit, and there were no instructions in the box, but both of those are very minor things.
Pretty much any problems associated with dogs stems from the fact that they're not a Labrador.

Thanks for the info. I had read in the reviews there are no instructions. That's generally no problem unless parts are missing. I have a drawer full of allen wrenches and several metric and inch folding sets, so I'm good there, too. Thanks again.

i have used 15 mentium hand guards without a single hiccup. really like their slimness. and price.

No, but the fact that they offer a Mentium branded 3in1 2-10 scope with a laser and holographic red-green dot, for $69.99, tells me all I need to know.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

OTOH some things just don't have to be much really... early DPMS floated handguards had to be machined EMT best I could tell, and even though they flexed, they never broke and did just what they needed to do.
The scope thingy... Nah, I'd run like heck. LOL.
Some AR parts are important, some not so much really.
