NSR is a handguard system marketed by Noveske.
The dimensions and built of the cheap Chinese one, the Noveske or the low priced handguard marketed by Rousch seem to be identical. Soon I will be able to compare the Rousch one against the cheapo one.
Another piece of knowledge I was able to pick, is on the matter of the apparent lack of anti-rotation means. It happens that this design incorporates and uses a 9/16" pin between the handguard and the receiver. I disassembled mine today and yes, there, in the back end of the handguard, is the little hole to hold the pin. Noveske sold their receivers with the matching hole already drilled.
VASCAR2: In a matter of half an hour, I measured, centered and drilled the hole in the receiver and made the pin out of a section of a 9/16" drill bit. Now my build has an anti-rotating pin installed.
I read that Noveske and sombody else invented the Key_Mod sytem. What is not clear, is if Noveske actually made the handguards in house or adopted a design already in production and marketed it with the Noveske logo. The sad part would be if Noveske invented the whole thing, gave it to a Chinese firm for manufacture and now his design is plagiarized.....but we really don't know and probably never will.
