Based on your video ,I did a quick search of JFG s track record on line .Everything from ThumperTalk ,Reddit,Facebook,KZfaq and everthing in between . Yikes .. Quality and a solid reputation does not seem to be hallmarks of this company . Good on you for taking the time to give an honest up close look at this particular product and its failings .Hopefully it'll save others from a similar fate .Cheers to you good sir.

For sure. We have to document it all. Not just the good stuff. Just a poor design. Pitiful. Thanks for watching as always. I appreciate it.

I've used handguards from JFG, they do the job. A few trees and fence posts have left their mark on them. But yeah, hardware is super cheap, the aluminum is soft, wouldn't trust it for critical parts. *edit- I tend to use IMS shift levers, they do cost more but like ASV levers they just work better/feel nicer.
