Not the triangular A2 HG’s?

Check some of the parts dealers like J&T or Del-Ton.

I need it for my issue M16, I lost my regular handguards sometime after installing the KAC rail I purchased, and Im not leaving my KAC rail at work.

Take a look at Stag Arms handguard rifle length # 10B for their new model 4 rifle.

Click on the Stag Arms link on top of this page or my link will take you directly to the parts shopping page.

Good luck.

DO NOT buy cheap handguards to put on a rifle that may be issued to another serviceman.  You are doing him and your country a disservice.

Talk to your Armorer about buying a new set through him.  They will be the proper Thermo-set plastic (not injection molded) and I'll bet they will be cheaper than buying commercial copies.

Remember to most people on this board 'Mil Spec' means it looks like and will fit the same as the military parts.  They do not go into the details of construction or materials.

Call SAW Sales they will have proper Colt handguards that will meet the spec (after all they pretty much wrote it).  I don't know where you could get REAL FN handguards, I know there are alot of pretend FN parts out there and I'll be darn if I know who has the real-deal ones (if any).
