Is there anywhere or anyone making Mid-Length Triangular Handguards ??

Thinking of building a Mid-Length model 604.

A Mid-Length 604 (style) could be a handy Carbine.

I have the same hope & dreams as you do...

It seems to be a huge gap in the market place.

Hope that PSA decides to fill it sometime.

Luth-AR makes Carbine & Rifle length triangle Handguards, but skipped the Mid-Length

Could be a nice market that is not being served.

Yeah, nowhere! Right now about the only GI option for midlength are the Fat Round handguards ☹. I've been waiting a long time for S&W to bring out a new batch of M&P10 slim handguards to replace my fat ones.

I was thinking that I could get a Skinny M-Lok handguard and use a MANTA Tac-Wrap.

But, it's not the look that I want.

thought i saw tony's customs having some...maybe i was mistaken with carbine length instead...

chop-offs are always an option, could do from the rear and use a 607-style rear handguard retainer or from the front and use an oversized LaFrance-style retainer...neither is cheap though, the former can be found for north of $40 from places like TNTE Sales iirc, and the latter from a guy who prints them out of SS on ShapeWays for north of $100...
