Handguard for a Colt 6920 OEM2

[texasaggie2005]

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.

Mk8's are awesome handguards for sure. I recently sold that upper, and am now rocking the Mk14. Which I greatly prefer over the Mk8.

mk8 for life, but if you have small hands like the bk commercial I guess the mk14 would be okay.

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've had a Troy VTAC Alppha for several years but I can't say I've run it hard.

A better measure would be the FBI's use of the standard cheesegrater Alpha on their issued and personal purchase Colt Rifles. They have since switched to the Geissele MK 4 on the issued rifles but the existing Alpha's are still in use and are still standard on the POW rifles.

Is anyone selling an Mlok handguard that attaches to the stock barrel nut that's also worth a shit?

A buddy has a 12" Fortis Rev II on a range toy. No clue whether or not it's good, and he won't be hard enough on it to tell.

Ouch, but sorta true...

I have a MK 8 on my SPR build. It's great but I would go with a MK 13 or 14 for a carbine build.

May I ask how long the barrel and handguard are in this photo?

The ALG EMR V2 13" will set you back $155, and is a solid handguard.

Thanks; this looks like a great option (and it comes in gray, which is awesome). Does anyone know if ALG typically has sales for Black Friday? I may wait until then just to see (not that the price now isn't reasonable).


I appreciate all the suggestions; keep it up!

They offered 20% off everything on Black Friday last year. Geiselle was 25%. Patiently waiting as I want another SSA trigger.

Honest question: what do the "higher end" HGs do that the ALG doesn't? Is it just easier install without timing? I'm going to keep an eye out for deals this holiday season and buy pieces for another upper that I'll build next year.

I've had a 13" ALG for ~2 years now and it's been great. It was cheap and it's held up to abuse. I don't generally mount stuff to my HG, but I have occasionally used a bipod, light, irons, and offset MRDS with it. I honestly don't have any complaints, but I'm just a hobbyist gamer/hunter.

And yes- wait for a sale. The ALG rails are crazy cheap when on sale.

Ive got a 13 ALG V3 in DDC that's going on my 6720 on Monday.
