So, keymod slots are disgusting and not that great. M-lok though kinda hard to install stuff, is the most solid aside from quad rail, but then you'll be paying more, and have more weight

What length are you looking for?

Im a quad rail kinda guy because you can get cheap aluminum drop ins off ebay and they are damn near impervious to everything

I was looking at the picatinny on the top and mlok on the sides but things change, I was holding hopes for 15" but i guess it's time to cut shorter. I was wanting the handguard to behave as a kind of shield for the barrel.

I want one. But I don't like adding weight at the front

That's all my handguards, picatinney at top, and m-lok over everything else

I have heard amazing things about mlok.

Get a slightly bigger budget

Holy shit that's a steal

Idk if it'll work on yours

Like, my enhanced handguard only works for the M4E1 upper

And won't take other handguards

What be a bar barrel nut?

So, you see all those holes in the handguard

At the very end,

Yea

Those holes are used to screw a bolt into the handguard and the barrel nut

Ah

Making the handguard non moveable, along with the barrel nut

I used that on mine, and it's solid af

Only time it'll ever move, is if the bolts come loose. But there's four of them

Make sure it's compatible with all uppers though

Hmm, I found one that would enable me to get a pair of canted sights ...I'm not gonna be able to get any great optics at least canted would allow me to shoot.

Thoughts?

You can get canted on almost any handguard

It's not that I couldn't, it's price range

Right

No idea on NBS. Can't tell you of their quality or how it'll hold up

My upper parts kit came with all the barrel stuff so, I could get a barrel without those

But if you're looking at it, look at some reviews that aren't on the website

I was intending on it.

Wayment, these guys do first responder discounts?? I could have my dad but it with my card 🤣

I could prolly get that aero one with that discount depending on how noticable it is.

Lmao maybe

I'm gonna talk to him about that ....it'd get me a great quality handguard

It would. Make sure you look up the handguard though, make sure it'll work. Maybe look at pictures of it on other rifles

So....how do I determine if it will fit my rifle?

Weld it on

Big hammer
