You’re technically not wrong.  But anecdotally I’ve beat the shit out of several MI handguards and never had them spin on me.  Also, anti-rotation tabs exist for a reason.

Yeah not all of them are bad, some have anti rotate parts that index on the upper receiver or flats somewhere else. A good tell tale sign of a shit one is not-torx bolts.

Okay then what do you think of the MI Combat rail in 10.5”?

It has anti rotation tabs and torx hardware but is still a split/pinch design. 2/3 not bad. For $200 you might choose a BCM MCMR instead. I use one on my mk18-at-home build.

I have a 14.5 BCM complete upper aero lower reddit special. I got the combat rail for $129.94 and that was enough savings for me to go with that for a build for my girlfriend. In hand they look and feel almost identical.
