If they would make one of these with M-Lok and be slim, I would probably put one on my Sport...

It's a 3 piece rail system. The top part is slotted out to go over the iron sight and the bottom is in 2 parts. It split to let the sling ring stick out and the front part covers the bayonet stud. I wanted the extra in front to hold the bipod stand and extend the front foregrip to where it's comfortable to hold when I am standing. Going to the range this weekend to sight in the scope and to see how it shots.

They have M-loc and slim models

I've seen those, but not in person... wish they would combine the two... put M-Lok on the slim. The M-Lok one looks chunky in the pics.

I was wrong, the keymod style is made by VISM. I've been watching youtube vids and looking at pics all morning and got that one confused.

Better yet, who's going to care?

That was the conclusion I reached. Both of my Sport IIs are still completely stock.

My Sport is still stock as well, but I think it would be difficult to find a handguard that is not any better than the one on the Sport rifles... even the M4 handguard with heat shields are better.

Added a mission first rail to my sport Il .

That's one of the few things I've changed on my Sport. I didn't have to spend a lot of money to get a better one for sure. The rifle is still a bargain even though replacing the hand guard is something I would suggest for everyone.

I decided I really like the look of the extended rails that go past the FSP, ordered a Troy Charlie BattleRail 2 Piece Drop In. I'll post pics when it gets here. Non related to hand guards, but I also put the stock charging handle back on my sport II so I could use my raptor on a build I was finishing.
The stock CH is horrible, I don't understand how anyone could leave these rifles completely stock? The point of the AR is that it's meant to be modular, anyways I also ordered a Geissele charging handle to try out with my sport II.

How could I leave mine stock? Because it simply works as is, right out of the box. Modular doesn't mean you need to replace every part just because you can.
If I am going to throw a lot of money towards changing features on a Sport, well, I would just buy the rifle that already had the features I wanted on it.
Exactly! If you are not going to hang a light, sling, a cheese grater and hostage extractor from a rail then there is no need to replace the handguards on a Sport II. If you buy a RD like a Aimpoint Pro and 1/3 co-witness there is no need to replace the A2 front post.
If you need to replace all of that stuff on a Sport II maybe you should buy a different rifle. IMHO YMMV

The hand guard I ordered has the hole for the A2 front post, and my sport II already has an aimpoint pro and a light.
I have different rifles, one rifle length gas, one mid length gas, a carbine (my sport II), and a pistol length.
I've never been one to "settle" with all stock on anything. I'm a gear head and love to mod my stuff.

They don't sell a rifle with all the features I want already installed.....
You will like the Geissele. I've got a Sig M400 that cost, well, about $700 more than my Sport II. And I changed the charging handle on it as well. Because its a stock charging handle, I wanted a different one, I had the money for it, so the heck with it. It has a BCM ambi on it. That my lesser handle. My Sport II has the Noveske (Geissele) Super BA on it (better in my opinion). Did the stock ones work on both rifles? Yep. Do I like these better? Yep.
Some people buy Kia's, some buy Mercedes. Does it matter? Well, if you aren't going bankrupt and you want it, then no.
In the end, get what you want. Who gives a rat what someone else thinks. Pink Corvette? Yeah, I'll call you stupid, but why should you care?
But yes, you will like the Geissele. Very smooth release from either side. My BCM is a finger pinching S0B.

Who is "they"? A lot more manufactures out there than just S&W. And even if there is not one exactly like you want, I bet there are several that start off closer than the Sport.
I get it, you like to play with yours like it is a Lego set. Nothing wrong with that. I like the simplicity and no frills of the Sport. Nothing wrong with that either. Mine is a Sport I as well, so I don't even have an ejection port cover or forward assist. Just don't feel compelled to change a thing on that rifle.
Then you should build it from the ground up vs paying for parts you are not going to use. IMHO but whatever works for you works for me. After all you are not spending my money. Tweaking small parts here and there makes sense and everyone does it what does not make sense to me is things like rails. It is too easy to get a OEM style rifle or one with the rail you want on the upper of your choice to buy something like the Sport II and immediately modify it.

"They" would be any rifle manufacturer, That why my sport II is my first and only complete factory built rifle. My other three where built or assembled by me only using tier 1 parts I wanted.
My sport II is a good rifle and is getting to were I think it should be, but I also have a "take-off parts" pile now.
List so far:
pistol grip
butt stock
hand guard
trigger
flash hider
charging handle
All of these parts "worked", just not very well.
What I don't understand, is why owners that chose not to modify their sports feel they have to come onto the threads that are clearly started for the owners who want to modify their rifles?
Is a post count thing or do you really think posting on these threads is going to convert any of us to keeping our rifles stock?
I ask only in the spirit of good fun and not to hurt feelings.
Also, keeping with the threads intent my new Troy hand guard will be here in two days if the the OP is still in the market for something new.

All of this is correct, but my sport II was the first AR I ever bought and owned so it was a learning lesson. After that I have build all my other rifles.
Having carried a plain colt in the military for many years it's nice to be able to customize my rifles the way I want them.
