Years ago, I put a square-section, flat-bottom handguard on an AR-15 because I shoot that rifle normally off a rest or bi-pod. However, it has no cooling slots and weighs almost 1.5 pounds. Looking for a replacement, I found these that look as though they would do the trick. However, I am not familiar with the names (except SLR) and would like to check the SH knowledge base to see if any of these brands should be on my short list (or should be tossed into the trash).
Other recommendations are always welcome.
The basic requirements are:
- M-Lok
- an inside diameter of at least 1.35 inches to fit over my SLR gas block
- a length of 13.7 inches to cover the block while letting me access the adjustment screw at the front
- a (relatively) snag-free bottom for shooting off a rest
Thank you,
Richard
