Re: smallest handguard.?
I dont think of anything smaller than a 7" but I have seen guys cut down the VTAC (FF) handguards down real short.
If its done right you cant even tell it was cut, looks stock.

I've seen the ones for AR pistols/SBR's. I know Rock River Arms and YHM make those, I don't know who else may. I believe those are around 4" long.

YHM has a ton of short freefloats for AR-15 pistols. They are much more affordable.

Bear in mind if you decide to use a pistol length handguard on a rifle barrel with a carbine, midlength, or rifle gas port position you will have a healthy amount of exposed gas tube running down your barrel, not to mention less surface area to hold onto when shooting...furthermore a lot of these aluminum ff tubes help dissipate the heat from the barrel nut by transferring it to the rail system...more rail means a bigger heat sink.
