Default Carbon handguard

My first post here

Guys, any help will be greatly appreciated.
I bought few days ago my first AR-15. It is M&P-15 "I", see the picture below. Equipped with 17" barrel, probably chrome-lined, 9" twist, A2 stock and "GI" handguard. I do not have any major tuning planned in my mind. What I want is only some nice carbon handguard. After searching the web, I've found out the Lancer Systems handguards are very nice. I need one in carbine length, no need for rails. Have checked european distributors, they only have mags. US distributors are mostly wholesale and they also do not ship to Europe. Do you know some good shop or store, which sells the Lancer's carbon handguards?

I also checked the store of Lancer but they don't ship to Europe... I am a bit sad.
Any idea or link to a good shop is welcome!

This could be tough for you. Most gun specific parts are restricted for export. I don't know of any place that will sell you what you're looking for. Sorry.

Sweet looking rifle, I dig it. Why do you want a carbon handguard? I would just go for the fatter double heatshield M4 style handguard like this one from BCM. My buddy from the UK ordered one for his rifle so I don't think it will be a problem getting something like this into mainland Europe.

Well, these restrictions for different parts, it is really annoying....

I want carbon handguard because it is a bit lighter than conventional aluminium handguard and it should be free-floating. I'll speak with people on the IWA Show in Germany tomorrow, maybe I'll will find some good solution.
