Needed to be sanded down so it would allow the gun to go together.

its pretty good except that the screws for the picatinny rails were very hart to install and I would prefer the screws to be hex machine screws. And it would also be nice for the bipod mound piece to be included.

It's great to be able to run tapered barrels in addition to .920 barrels on the AGP takedown stock.

Standard Barrel 10/22 with Billet T-Block Handguard

The Good:
Please understand that I write this review from wanting to build an ultra lightweight setup. For me this handguard is astonishingly heavy, perhaps too thick in certain areas. It's bombpoof and solid feeling. For us lighter weight folks, maybe a 'Gen II Handguard' could shave ounces off this design and still have substantial material in critical areas. The handguard is rock solid and so hefty I got tired just looking at it. For most people it adds weight/balance in places it needs it most. So again not a bad thing it's heavy. If you decide to do this handguard, T-Block billet adapter, and 2 picatinny rails you will have added well over a pound to your rifle's weight. While not ideal for my intentions needs, this is an excellent handguard for 95% of people's needs

The Bad:
If you have a standard (non take-down) 10/22 it's disappointing to see full price on this handguard. Takedown Handguards are nearly half the cost at the time of this writing. Again if you (AGP) choose NOT make a 'full' solid one-piece stock (therfore necessitating that we purchase this handguard to have a full rifle) then please don't penalize us on the price simply becasue we own a 'standard' 10/22

The Ugly:
I like the look of AGP products and on paper or priced separately they are very eye-catching. When you sit down ad add up what you need to have a 'full' stock on your 'standard' rifle it can get a little crazy; folding stock+handguard+T Block adapter+1" recoil pad+two picatinny rails. You can quickly approach retail price of an entire new 10/22. Still not sure why they don't do a 'full' stock for 'standard' rifle, even at $120 it would be worthwhile; purpose-built, ounces lighter, and not just some bolted-on adaption to also please the 'standard' rifle owners. You need between 3-6 'parts' from AGP to have a full stock the way you want it if you have a 'standard' rifle.

Overall rating still 4/5

I liked everything about the new fore end, I had purchased the folding stock a year or so earlier so it looks complete. the original Ruger fore-end didn't mate well with the folding stock profile. My only beef is the price, even on sale it seems a little $$$ but I like the finished look and am glad I went this route.

Thanks for the Excellent Customer Service!

This review is an update to my original review. I mentioned they should add a picatinny rail on the bottom for a bipod and support contacted me to tell me they sell a Harris style bipod mount. I ordered one from AGP Arms and then shopped on Amazon for a Harris bipod. I'm impressed at how strong it is. I prefer this style over having another rail on the forearm to keep the rail as small as possible. I'm very happy with the mount and recommend it if you want to mount a bipod on the forearm.

Ordered my folding stock with rails but rails were not delivered. After several calls, the rails were shipped within 3 days and an apology from customer service.

A bottom rail or mount would make it easier to mount a bipod. If you buy the $25 QD swivel mount from AGP Arms, you still have to find a bipod that mounts to the swivel which narrows yours choices.

Am overall very happy with the rail kit, it is well made and should last many years.

Overall I am very pleased with the product. Solid and relatively light. Placed on a Tacsol SBX barrel for a shorter, lighter alternative to factory 16 in. Needed some mill grinding to make it flush with Ruger factory stock for a good lock up. Optional side rails add significant width and with inherent QD socket on bottom, I probably did not need.

Super service.
Handguard fits well but looks 'blocky'
And is too heavy. Round off the front
and lower the weight please.
Have 3 kits made up and will probably
buy another.

This is a solid and nice hand guard mates the folding stock perfectly. My only complaint is I had to go to a side mounting Bifold because I couldn't find a QD accessory mount. I wish they would of included a bottom rail or an accessory to mount a bifold. Other than its awesome

I just bought two of these along with the optional rail attachments. The fit and finish is consistence with the quality of the two stocks I have previously purchased. When the handguards arrived a set of rails were missing. I contacted AGP and three days later I received the other two rails. No questions, No excuses.... Just prompt delivery of the merchandise. As I stated earlier the product is the best available and the only thing better with AGP is the customer service that is provided. THANKS

I purchased the folding stock for my 10/22 takedown some time ago and it is perfect for this gun. At the time the forearm was not available. Recently saw the ad for the forearm and ordered it. Couldn't be happier! Perfect fit and perfect match. I also ordered the rails to add additional versatility to my little package:)
Great products, outstanding quality and priced right!!

You've seen the images, so you see the enhanced utility this part has over the stock Ruger 10/22 forend. This one nicely attaches rails, and the quick detach socket is ready to go. To me this is far preferable to a Ruger factory forend with a Promag rail barrel band (for example).

What you can't know from just by looking, is how much tighter the overall lock up is of this handguard against the AGP folding stock, versus the Ruger factory forend:

I know there are small variations across Ruger 10/22s (I've confirmed this swapping accessories with friends), but this piece really does fit rock solid on my 10/22 Takedown, tightly closing the gap between the barrel/forend and the receiver.

This is recommended without reservation. Another good one from AGP.
