G36 picatinny Handguards (lithuanian input appreciated)

[Cantabro]

I am going to purchase a rail handguard for my G36E(V) and I had the Brugger & Thomet Handguard (http://www.brugger-thomet.ch/en/manufacturing/handguards/rifle.php?pid=337) in mind. (price is 280€)
I know the Lithuanian defence forces uses this handguard (the K version (http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8354/kariuomenesdiena008k.jpg)) and I would like to know what their experience is with this product before buying it myself.

Example: Does it hold zero? Does it stay firmly put or does it move loosely like the original polimer ones? Why do you use the K handguard instead of the long barrel handguard (you have a 480mm barrel right?)?

Some other handguards like the polimer with rails (http://www.sl-8.de/Rails2/rails2.html) ones I am certain they will move the same as the original polimer, becase the attachment is the exact same.

If anyone has the knight's armament handguard feel free to share your views on it,

I didn´t know that Spanish soldiers were allowed to pimp their issued weapons privately.

Try to PM SMGLee on here for some feedback on the Knights Armament G36 rail handguards. He had a project rifle with one before.

Actually, I'm more interested in the B&T handguard than the Knights Armament one, which would be much more difficult to purchase (I believe they don't produce them anymore).

As for what is allowed and what isn't, maybe i'm "diving into the pool" with this but I just don't think ducktaping lights to your handguard is very professional. And anyways allowance is more chain of command dependent than general regulations. In this topic that matter is irrelevant and I don't want it to evolve into a regulations discussion.

My concern is that since the G36 handguards are free floating they need a firm attachment to keep them from moving loosely. The polimer ones don't provide such a firm attachment and you can just move them with hand pressure. They don't hold point of aim while installed. You can drill some rails in them but IMHO they can't be very suitable for attaching lights or lasers.

So really, the feedback I'd like is from end users of the B&T handguard. Which is standart issue in the Lituanian Defense Forces.

And my questions are
How durable is it? Does it hold zero while installed?

Simple as that.

I'll post some pics relative to the thread
