12-15" hanguards


Recommended Posts

I'm having a hard time deciding what to get. My ATi came with a 10" and it's just to short. I'm 6'2 and I need longer. But how long???

 

This gun will be used 95% for PCC uspsa matches and possibly 3gun. 

 

It has a 16" barrel with a 2.5" muzzle brake.

 

Any suggestions for length and brand? Also I'd like to stay $200 or less.

 

Unfortunately none of the local gun shops have anything other than magpul in stock so I can't fondle anything in person, I'm limited to what I see on the web.

There's an Aero 15" in the classifieds for $80. That should be perfect.

I saw that. 

 

I may may have found a winner with Midwest Indistries if I go 15". 

MI-LWM15G3 

and it's selling at Buds for $150.00. Surprisingly it weighs under 10oz including the hardware.

edit** it's 9.3oz total!

I have a few Midwest Industries handguards on different rifles. I have been very happy with all of them. They're lightweight and well made, and very reasonably priced.  If you're a tall guy I would go with the 15". I've never heard anybody complain that their handguard was too long for them.

My secret is the Matrix from Chandler Hardwoods.  Great folks to deal with.  15" in the white is $49 and Anodized is $59.  I use them on most of my builds and I have no complaints

Tommy: I forgot about Chandler Hardwoods. They do have the best price on Matrix handguards. Thanks, Eric

Wow, what's the catch here? That 15" m-lock matrix is 9.5oz including the hardware, it looks good, and it's only $59!?  Gotta be a catch

I couldn't resist the low price of the matrix. I ordered the 

AR15-15ML AR Platform 15" M LOCK Hand Guard 1

$59.00

 

 

 

I went ahead and also grabbed a stripped upper receiver without a forward assist for $49. Thanks flatland shooter!

Glad I could help.  I have  been dealing with Chandler Hardwoods for years.  Shipping can be a little tough, but the products are fine.

So far so good, I ordered last night and I got a shipping confirmation this afternoon :-)

Looks like you got if all sorted, but just in case anyone else is looking...

 

I love the Seekins SP3R handguard.  Im 6'2" also and the 15" fits me perfectly.  Have them on all my match rifles.

 

Still playing with the optic position.

Good looking weapon! 

 

My matrix showed up today and I'm beside myself at how well built an light it is for the price.

 

meanwhike, I actually put a seekins in my hand today and I really liked the feel of it with that flat bottom. If I build another it is forst on my list.
