I have a Stag upper with a 16" barrel, carbine configuration. The handguards feel fat in my hands. I am just wondering if there are handguards out there with a smaller diameter. It looks like the limiting factor is the gas tube running under them, maybe an 1/8" or so. So I wonder if I would even notice the 1/4" difference. But I just saw an article in a mag. comparing a S&W ar15 to the authors 10 year old Rock River. It looked like the Rock River had smaller handguards. Anyway, if they exist I know you guys know where. Thanks, Loy |

i just got a set from Bravo Company USA. they are the smaller CAR style like you were asking about. IIRC they are about $18.00. extremely good company to deal with. there are good ones and ones of lesser quality out there all for about price. i know Bravo Co are the good ones. they have two extra bumps where they slid into the front HG ring. you file down the dimples for a solid snug fit. the few bushies i have handled i didn't like the fit of the HGs (may or may not have been represenative). there are both pins/holes and slots/grooves that keep the two halves aligned together. the cheapies i have handled only had the slots/ grooves....they were missing the pins/holes. advntrjnky |
