Who made the handguards?

my guess:  S&W M&P 10 handguards are compatible with AR-15 mid-length with round handguard cap.  Cavalry Mfg mid-length HG's use the triangular HG cap.

I really like the older style triangular hand guard.

Whats the weight of the meprolight m21 in the carry handle mount? Internet is giving mixed results.

Trying to figure out if i want to run an old trijicon rx vs a new m21 on my 6520

Leaning Trijicon because of how light it is, and its dam good looking, but the m21 apparently is much brighter.

I don’t know the weight but I have the triangle reticle m21 with carry handle mount on my 723 IDF clone. It’s not heavy but I think the m21 is a little bigger than the trijicon reflex sight.

I am tempted to send my 6921 barrel out, and have it turned down.  I really need another to go with my 12.5"

I love it, sir!

Clean.

I am blowing apart my A1 stocked, KAC RAS railed 14.5 C7 build to duplicate what you have here.  I tried to love the A1, but it blows, and if I have to have a carbine length handguard, then that bitch has to be a set of skinnies!

Well done, as usual, sir

Thanks man.  It has a SOCOM barrel stuffed under the handguards but still very handy compared to a fully-ladened M4.

My 12.5, which is built the same (C7 upper, etc.) has a re-profiled Socom barrel.  It is probably my favorite shooter...at least until I get my Mod 0 out this weekend!

Is that pic rail clearanced over the handguard, or are the ribs cut out ?

Looking to do something like that on my 6520

Diemaco produce an A1 carry handle and they usually command a premium.  Last one I saw sell for $350 US.

I'm thinking about getting one of the cheap Brownells proto rifle length barrels and chopping it for a IDF Menusar carbine clone.

Any advice from someone that's done something similar?

It may be easier just to order one of their 12.5" barrels and build from there.  I did that and it turned out really well.  I think I posted a pic somewhere in this thread.

ETA:  It's posted on page 81 toward the top.  Looks like several members in this thread have had the same idea.

I purchased my barrel from AR15sport.com a year or two before Brownells started into the retro game. It is no longer listed on their website unfortunately.  It was a 16" pencil with carbine length gas and pinned front sight base.  I took it to a gunsmith to have reduced down to 12.5".  Doing it today I would definitely grab one of the brownells barrels if available or watch green mountain website.  It is my favorite length and very handy.
