Car handguards are round, M4 are oval. Free floating tubes come in 2 types basically. Round and smooth, or railed.

The M4 guards are a little taller/ more oval shape than carbine and also have a double heat shield. IMHO If you don't FF the barrel I would spend the extra $$$ on the M4 guards.

Unless you are going to use a 1903 leather sling on the gun and shoot High Power don't waste your money on a free float tube. Free float tubes are not needed for non-competitive service rifles.

That's a rather narrow minded statement...

ETA that it also ignores the fact that he said he wants an M4 barrelm which wouldn't be legal for match shooting anyway.
