Handguard reviews from Reddit

"Every product I've bought from them has been excellent."

"Midwest 1000%."

"Has anyone told you to go with Midwest? Because Midwest."

"I’ve owned both and I can say Midwest is 110% better."

"I just bought the Midwest for my marlin."

"I think the Midwest one looks so much better then the ranger point precision."

"I much prefer the MWI."

"I went with the MWI handguard for my Henry X."

"Midwest full rail is the tits."

"The Midwest one is slimmer though."

"Midwest free float they have shorter ones in your budget. These rails are worth it and are very good."

"The Midwest FF quad is amazing on my 8” 300"

"Can't go wrong with MI. Has a full length to pic rail too."

"Save up and get the Midwest Industries."

"Magpul or Midwest Industries"

"Midwest makes some solid rails."

"I suggest Midwest industries. They’re tried and true and not too expensive but not cheap."

"I’d hold out for GAFS or Labor Day sales for a higher quality rail like Midwest industries."

"I use a Midwest Industries handguard and a Surefire Pro on a T-Rex Arms light bar, which gets it far ahead of the hand guard to allow for good grip and is clear of the can."

"Midwest Industries with the full top rail is pretty sweet."

"I love my CMT rails for the cost. Their HDM line is very similar to the Geissele MK16."

"I prefer the CMT HDM over pretty much everything on the market"

"Check out CMT Arca rails, right at $200."

"I’d say CMT is the best value handguard. $150 at full price for a strong, sturdy rail is hard to beat"

"I agree with the CMT rail. CMT also have blem rails for a little cheaper."

"CMT has one around that price point I believe."

"The cmt is slightly heavier than the bcm but cost 50$ less. The bcm and cmt are definitely the best lightweight hand guards."

"Throw me in the CMT Camp as well!"

"CMT HDM or DRT would work and probably have lines that look really good on that upper."

"Here’s my 13.9” criterion with a 13” CMT rail."

"The Magpul MOE handguard is affordable and fits really good on every rifle I’ve tried."

"Magpul or Midwest Industries"

"Magpul or BCM, I like Midwest Industries' drop-in handguards but they're fairly expensive"

"Its the Magpul SL Handguard for the HK94/MP5 (MAG1049)"

"Magpul ak handguards. You will have to modify them where they go into the receiver as the kp9 is shaped a bit differently. They allow lots of attachments, feel good, and are cheap."

"If you have an A2 gas block I don't think you can beat Magpul."

"As for ME, I like the Magpul handguard."

"My criteria for replacing the stock hand guard was that I wanted to be able to put a WML. Went with Magpul. Its one of the cheaper options from where I’m from. Did the break-in with this set-up, no issues so far."

"Magpul has served me well. I like that it doesn't get hot if I'm shooting a lot of mags back to back. Light and pressure pad have held strong since installing them over a few thousand rounds ago."

"The BCM MCMR-7 would be a solid option."

"BCM is as light as Id go without losing much rigidity. CMT is also solid"

"BCM MCMR. Worth every penny."

"Bcm, cmt, midwest, kak,"

"Most people on here choose and would recommend BCM, Midwest Industries, CMT. KAK, Faxon, STNGR, SOLGW, and SLR are other great options."

"The BCM MCMR is 7.4" so it works out well."

"The bcm is a solid rail. I’ve started using them on all my builds."

"B&T lightweight tri rail, great weight and quality. Classic look with the covers. Can get for 180-200ish."

"Wanted the KAC rail but the B&T was available and good quality"

"Another vote for the B&T. Love mine but also will grab a KAC RIS when I get the chance"

"I went with the B&T lightweight tri rail for a slightly more 'classic' aesthetic, but still retain the ability to mount a light, switch and VFG."

"I've had the KAC before and I wouldn't waste your time with it. Scratches your firearm and it's heavy and bulky."

"On my Aero OD green build I went with an Aero OD green handguard."

"I did the Aero enhanced for that reason. I love the centurion for small frame, but for large I went Aero enhanced."

"Probably Aero's Enhanced. Its a true free float as it doesn't interact with the barrel nut at all unlike most that are "free float" but still attach to the barrel nut."

"Look at SLR. You’ll pay for it, no doubt, but I put one on my 8.6 build and love it."

"Look up SLR"

"SLR."

"When I built my AR-10 this summer I also went with one from BKings. Hard to beat."

"The M-lok ones from BKings are a better deal and a nicer handguard. Solid wedge lock type lockup"

"Zenitco all the way. Buy once cry once."

"Zenitco hands down"

"They were most definitely on my list I love kak"

"These are great and very inexpensive.."

"PRI rifle length by a mile."

"I second PRI I run one on my rifle and I’m in love with it"

"Kac ras , solid asf. Plenty of mounting options, a flex and looks good"

"I put kac ras on my PSA no regards"

"Geissele mk4. Best of both worlds"

"Geissele national match mk7 might be what you are looking for, although expensive."

"The expo patrol series is also the same system and they recently had a sale of their 13" rail for $37. It was an absolute steal."

"You could also try Sionics. They closely follow BCM in weight with their handguards."

"Samson ftw!"

"I switched to the Samson rail."

"I've always been a fan of the rpp one as it's a bit nicer to grip."

"I have an RPP on one of my Henry’s and I have a chisel machine that’s waiting for it’s 1895/1894 to come in… I don’t think you can go wrong either way it’s all preference."

"The simplest option would be a handguard from Cyma cm.048 or 050."

"Cyma makes some wood furniture themselves."

"Its not a round grip like Midwest so it feels more natural."

"That range point is really nice on a Rossi 92 357."

"That LCT handguard should work! All real steel furniture should fit well."

"Alternatively you could buy some LCT stuff."

"DD RIS II is a classic, there is a reason they are commonly recommended."

"As for handguard, DD almost seems like the more proven choice but it’ll cost a little more and weigh more."

"Noveske gets a lot of shit on here, but they're one of the few companies making handguards this short."

"The noveske is slightly heavier than the bcm plus you have to time the barrel nut for it to line up which makes the install less enjoyable."

"Vltor freedom 17” looks pretty solid, I’ve thought about getting one."

"Vltor Freedom Rail."

"On the 20" DMR build I went with a 2A Armament that was on sale at Dvor."

"AR Stoner v2 handguards are hard to beat for the price. Much better than psa imo. Qd points, no big gaps for fingers to go through, nice shape/diameter, full top rail."

"I looked at three different tactical handguards and went with the Krebs Custom two piece m-lock unit. It was less money that the zenitco and offers form and function that’s sexy as hell ! There are currently 9 units in stock on the Krebs Custom website for $179.00. Love mine ! Tight, no rattle and feels great in the hand."

"Breek arms RG2-S is my go to budget rail it uses a wedge lock, it is rock solid and the fit in finish is amazing especially considering the price point"

"Most rigid is going to be a LMT monolithic."

"Pricey but the Knights MP5 Ras handguard and optic mount combo is where its at."

"Surefire 628."

"I have an 18” grey ghost precision and love it"

"Accuracy Systems have billet aluminum and Birch and Walnut vented and non-vented hand guards."

"The Krebs custom unit is Mlok all the way around."

"I run a Krebs on mine. Excellent fit."

"I run the 6” KDG on my A3S and it’s amazing at tucking cans."

"The JTAC 2.25” is sweet with the can slightly tucked."

"Get the spr-m, revamped version of the one you linked, it comes with an mlok handguard."

"Magpul MOE"

"There is a 2 piece handguard from Cyma that looks really nice and is fully compatible to Cyma/Tokyo Marui AK74s."

"Ever consider this [Hephaestus 10.5 inch M-LOK handguard set]?"

"I'm very happy with them"

"Is this what you're looking for? [Linemount Carbine Triangle Handguards]..."

"Larue upper and rail, SOLGW broadsword/L89 rail or the Ripcord Arca rail are other good options."

"If you want a full size rail take a look at the UTG pro"

"I like zenitco but I'm using KUSA K-21 and it's great."

"I like the URX4 but that’d be for an 11.5”. Before that, I liked my MCMR a lot. Obligatory RIS2/3 suggestion. And Geissele stuff."

"I grabbed a G$ 7” MK8 last winter during their blem sale."

"Cross Machine Tools KAK Are some good options."

"Picture posted in GAFS"

"Dark Hour Defense, SLR, CMT, Troy, Samson"

"I have Parallax on both of mine and like them"

"Wilson Combat, CMT, Samson, PRI, Centi, are all good."

"Centurion or PRI imo"

"Jmac for the win"

"Centurion."

"I'm thinking grey ghost or maybe Samson"

"I’m looking at the Wilson Combat handguard. $110 on shooting surplus and looks to be quite lightweight"

"I think the 3 most favorite are the Magpul, Midwest, and Knights armament."

"Jcomp and oppressor work well. Poor mans warden."

"SLR Rifleworks has many different rails."

"Hodge if you can catch them on sale."
