What Free Float Handguard Do You Run?

I have a Troy Alpha Battle rail on mine. Liked it so much I put the same one on my Bushmaster. I started a thread that covered the install.

I love my Taccom carbon guard. I cut it down and is the lightest option I know of.

I like the Keymod, but I am going to try the M-lok next.

S&W MP15-22 with some upgraded parts. I ditched the plastic quad factory rail and put an aluminum YHM quad rail on it its place. MI flip sights for BUIS while my Vortex SPARC II is on the way. Magpul "real" butt stock in place of the thing S&W put on it.

Looks great.
Why did you replace a quad rail with a quad rail though?

Because the YHM rail is aluminum and free floats the barrel Vs the factory rail that is plastic and contacts the barrel.

I've used Gibbz Arms hex shaped handguards on all three of my AR15 builds, below is a pick of the 20 inch precision rifle. The reason I use the Gibbz handguards is because of the design of the handguard mount, it allow you to clamp the mount in a vise to torque the internal castle nut and tighten the barrel to the receiver without putting any torque on the receiver. Below is a pick of the 20 inch rifle and if you look closely you'll notice it's a side charging AR15.

A little bit more than the $200 target price but it looks great and weighs only 3oz. by Brigand Arms.

Cal50 The plastic hand guard does not touch the barrel, especially when you remove the hand guard end cap. But it is plastic and does move.
