These are two similar mid/low price handguards. The first one clamps on the barrel nut. The second one fastens to the barrel nut. Is the second one a better design by nature of the engineering? Thanks!

They both look stupid IMO.

The top one is similar to how most attach to barrel nuts.  My MI rail is like that.

I do not get the slopped front of the rail though especially on that short of a rail.

It only looks cool with a big piston gas block.

I prefer the second one. In my head I would think it would hold better but, they are probably pretty equal. My only experience is with the second type though....
