kimberacp Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hello, I am looking to replace an aluminum FF handguard on my 20" (w/low profile gas block)barrel AR. I want a 15" HG to cover the block. My choices at this point are: JP Lancer or LOKI. I did look at Clark but I did read only one neg. post about the glue coming off, so I decided on a barrel nut system. The price difference between the Lancer and the others is about 50.00 dollars. I believe LOKI does not include the JP nut, where as MIDWAY does have the JP HG, complete with nut for about 200.00 dollars or is it NORDIC has it for 109.00 dollars. Yes, I agree the Lancer HG's are neat cooling. What would you buy? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon9 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I would look at the Firebird Precision handguard also. With the Firebird barrel nut and carbon fiber tube it ends up being 16" overall which would look and feel good on a 20" barrel. Worth checking out and their low-pro gas block is second to none.

Lead-Head Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Samson Evolution 15"deserves a look. Easy to install, lt. wgt., slim, and rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 PRI Target carbon fiber can be had in a 15". That's what I use. Bomb proof bbl nut. Best carbonfiber HG in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Freeman Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 PRI gets my vote as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamQ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) JP hands down for me. But hey I love nearly all JP products. Edited November 22, 2011 by AdamQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Also look at the Troy TRX Extreme. Very light weight and about the narrowest profile (diameter) out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerdawg Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have to second the troy trx, slim and solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam Carter Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Take a look at AP Custom carbon fiber. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saibot Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I really like the JP myself. But we all have our favorites for various reasons. As a comparison you might want to take a look at this comparison chart that lists most of the popular options out there. Good resource. https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pwswheghNQsFnUZMkZNF2DQ&output=html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickpony Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I like the Loki Weapon Systems 14.5" aluminum handguard and their carbon fiber 15" or 18" are very nice too (AP Custom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchUSMC Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm a big fan of the Troy trx extreme. Its light weight and very slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddj8052 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I just ordered the new JP LE-M Hand guard. I have not found any reviews, but I love the fact that it is a modular tube type hand guard with a integrated full length top rail. I will try to post a review once I receive it. http://www.jprifles.com/1.1_feature.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmbtEngr Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've been happy with the Troy TRX...really like the small diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter545 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm like everybody else here and have several differnt ones that I really like, JP, PRI, Troy, etc.. I think that you might want to give a good hard look at Lancer's carbon fiber handguard. I got one about two weeks ago and have been real pleased with it. I put it and a JP 18" barrel on an upper. It points, shoots and moves from target to target qucikly and very smoothly. I expected it to be light but it is better/lighter than I expected; 13.3oz IIRC.
