Hey guys, im in the market for a new handguard for my smith and Wesson m& p15t. I want something lightweight and in the 9 to 11 inch range. I believe my smith came with a utg rail. It appears to be the 9 inch version. I was looking at the larues but they seem a little heavy am i wrong bout this? Either way i still like the larues but the 13inch utg is 15.8 oz and i have the 9 inch. Any recommendations? Thanks guys

Edit i would also be interested in uppers if you guys had any recommendations.

I like the kac urx systems but dont i need a special wrench/a "kac" armorer to install them?
In doing my own research im split between this and the larue.

I'm getting the Midwest Industries Gen 2 Two Piece Free Float. Great pricing and pretty light compared to others. Mine will be the 9" variety.

Good Luck,

I have a DD 9in Omega on my gun and I love it so far. I don't think you can go wrong with Daniel Defense.
