Default M&P 15T Hand Guard

Picked up a 15T for MSRP when the local shop got a shipment. Was wondering what kind of hand guard could be put on this rifle as there is no front ring for attachment.

Thanks,
Bob

Not to seem rude, but why would you buy a model that has a free float quad rail if you didn't want a quad rail system?

As stated above, you have a free float rail. Often deemed more desirable than any drop in hand guard or rail. What are you trying to replace it with? You can basically pick from any free float quad rail or tube style hand guard out there. Only thing to consider is whether or not it uses a proprietary barrel nut (MI) or will mount to your standard barrel nut (Samson, Rainier, Troy...).

There's also different style grips you can add if you want those or ladders. Most people that buy Sports,the old handguard is the first thing they switch out to Free Float much like the T for better shooting and for adding sights,lights,bipods,sling mounts and all kinds of different things. You can also switch out that handguard.

That stock T will also out shoot a stock Sport if you are interested.
