I feel faint. Hmmm. Maybe a faux-prototype dream gun with you trigger upper! I think I need to buy a set just to have! I call a set, if I don't have to mortgage my kids.

What kind of hand guard cap will it need? It looks from the picture like the more modern round kind. Will it fit on the triangular cap?

We are working on getting the round .625" caps right now. They will be included with the handguards.
The price for the set will be reasonable. I'm also going to design a funky slip ring that will be offered later. |

Outstanding! I'm glad you were able to make this a reality. I wrote ArmaLite about this about 18 months ago, and they wouldn't even entertain me. You've got the clout!
Thanks very much, and set aside a set for me. My money will be headed your way as soon as you put them up on your website. John Thomas |

jmt - any chance you could darken your paint job up to match this? Just thinking right now, in case I decide not to go with the mismatch 601 brown look.

jnt - any chance you could darken your paint job up to match this? I do offer that color (and about any custom combination you want). In the picture below, the bottom handguard is matched to an original grip. The bottom picture also shows a darker finish (under "heavily weathred/oxidized" 601 green). John Thomas

NDS you guys are truely amazing! I'm glad to see you guys were able to convince Armalite to build some more AR10B handguards specifically for us retro heads, because they would NOT give us little guys the time of day. You guys truely rock.

I'm definitely in for a pair, they'll be going to JT for his art. There was a reason that Providence kept me from sending him a set of generic A1 guards. I'm doing windshield time most of the day tomorrow but I'll crank up the laptop at a gas stop.
