Handguard for lr-308 build

[signal5]

I am building a dpms lr-308 and am looking for a handguard that I could move the rails around on, you know like a custimizable free float tube. Anyway its gotta be rifle length because I am using an adjustable gas block. Anybody got suggestions or pics? Thanks.

Troy makes a good one for 200 bucks. Rainierarms has them in stock.

VTAC FF tubes are nice, it is what I put on mine. They also make an extension so you can cover the gas block.

I have used both SI Defense I like it as it uses a steel DPMS barrel nut and it can be customized

Also the Daniels Defense is good it has a VERY strong clamping system to attach it to the receiver

The Troy one is nice and comes with all the rails I will need. The APEX on also looks nice but I will end up having to spend more money on a barrel nut and rails.

You really need to make sure which height A3 reciever you have first. THere is the super dupper tall "slick side" upper, but there are 2 heights for the A3. DPMS made changes so that BUISs line up better with the front sight or something along those lines.
Either way, get on google and search for it. There more or less is only DPMS and Troy rails for the newer lower height upper.
