I have a mid length AR (16'' barrel) that is basically needing a head start on me building it.  Only problem is i'm unsure of what handguard I would like to have..

I am interested in quite a few different handguards, but my question is... which is best?

I'd like to have a longer handguard if at all possible. I don't know if it is recommended or not, I prefer rifle length due to how i grew up shooting.  Anyway, here are a few I was interested in. Which would be best for the money?

To be honest, I don't know how well these work.  I don't know if I could put a set of flip-up front sights on this thing and have it decent enough. I'm no sharpshooter, I just want to be able to hit a yote at about 200 yards.

Input?  Thanks in advance!

and forgive the noobishness to AR's

About how much am I looking at paying for that?

A good bit of change. around $300.




Brightlflashlights.com has the deals though.



















I mean...you pay $150-$250 for Troy anyways...I would just go all the way the first time.




And with brightflashlights you buy from a site dealer, with great rep, and get some rail ladders and a mag loader as well.

I think he wants rifle length so the price is a little more than carbine or middy.
