I'd like the handguard to be at least 12.5 inches long, be capable of mounting rail sections (one ~4" piece at 12 o'clock should be enough for a front sight and light mount, I should think), and preferably cost under $200.
If anyone here has a used handguard they'd like to part with for the right price, I'm interested. Any suggestions regarding buying new are welcome, too.
Thanks!
P.S. The rifle is for home defense and may see use as an LE patrol rifle.
Following this topic with interest. Picked up one a few months back when these were on sale but haven't gotten around to setting it up quite yet.
The ALG EMR V2 13" will set you back $155, and is a solid handguard.
The Geissele/ALG EMR is what'd I'd use. https://algdefense.com/ergonomic-mod...-v3-m-lok.html
ETA: ^^Great minds think alike and post at the same time.

Ha, and we have some pretty similar carbines too.Originally Posted by ASH556
Is anyone selling an Mlok handguard that attaches to the stock barrel nut that's also worth a shit?
Troy Alpha ?
How do you feel about the Troy for hard use? I've installed several for customers and even had one for a couple weeks myself. I've never been thrilled with the barrel nut lockup/anti-rotation measures.

I'd like to see Monty @ Centurion make a larger OD version of his MLOK CMR that would attach to the stock nut the same way his C4 rails did.

I know you said under $200, but Brownells is having a sale on Geissele and you can get the excellent MK8 MLOK for $215 right now (https://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...TOMATICS%2bLLC)
I use these hand guards on my personal carbines as well as @karmapolice and @texasaggie2005.
