there are 3 normal lengths: CAR, midlength, and rifle; the CAR length will work w/ anything "M4" related (usually) when it comes to length

The midlength handguard is longer than the CAR & M4 handguards.

The M4 has the double heat shield on the inside. It is a fatter handguard because of that. The length is the same as the CAR handguard.
