I hope this is the correct forum to ask this in.

I have been looking for a longer handguard.  Currently I have a YHM rifle length (12.5") four rail free float and that is the longest I can find.  Looking for one that will extend passed my gas block and hide it.  If it was 2.5" longer I think that would work, so a 15" would probably do the trick.  If anyone knows where I can get one of those please let me know.  Thanks.

Edit: I should have also stated that it does not have to have rails, any that is 15" will work.
Thanks for the link to the Troy Industries handguard also.

Not letting me edit my pic, so follow this link to see, I added in some text to show what I am trying to do so it is more clear.

btt.  Still looking for a 15 - 18" handguard.  It does not have to have rails.  Just looking for a free float to replace my 12.5" YHM.  I have looked at dlsports.com and they do not have any information regarding length of their handguards.  Any help is appreciated.

Larue makes a 13.2 inch one.  Thats the longest one I've seen available, but I haven't specifically looked for anything longer than a 12".

DD makes a 14.0 Lite rail sold by Rainier Arms that should cover your gas block.

The handguard must be 15" MINIMUM to cover the entire gas block.  Looking for 15" - 18".  Either way it doesn't look promising so far.  Thanks everyone for your help.
