bagdrag Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Another vote for JP enterprises. Very comfortable and sturdy. I know the trend is lightweight and keymod/m-lok but my favorites are still JP or Nordic. Just feels natural and sturdy to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Carbon fiber from Mark. Very light out from your body, no issue with heat. If you want to mount a 45 degree red dot or iron sight,etc., then JP uses a light one on their ultralight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I went on JP website and cannot find the weight for the hand guards. I have the original Jp forhand that came on their basic upper. Is the new model lighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOThompson Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 No expert here but be careful that your handguard lives up to its name and does not allow your fingers to come in contact with the barrel or gas block in the "heat of battle/competition". Also, be sure your chosen length goes out as far as possible to provide safe grabbing locations and flexibility against barricades. Looks like you are using a 16" barrel? I have an SLR on an AR pistol and it is great. My 3-gun and home defense ARs have Fortis handguards. After taking a 3-gun class I realized there were some holes in the guard that might let my fingers come in contact with the gas block. FWIW. SLRs have been great for me. I've been looking at some of the Geissele blemished rails too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I have the SLR Solo Ultralite MLOK and think it is great. I put a clamp-on gas block under it, and that took some dremeling on the machine screw heads in order to achieve necessary clearance for free floating.

Daft Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I would like to get a scale to weigh weapons. Any suggestions? I think the JP ultralight is like 5.6 pounds without optics or iron sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I would like to get a scale to weigh weapons. Any suggestions? I think the JP ultralight is like 5.6 pounds without optics or iron sights I have a weighmax that was cheap and works well. For a Handguard I just bought a Clark customs carbon fiber 16" 7oz with barrel nut for $160 Complete rifle should come in right at 4 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc187 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I like the one on my armalite 3gn. They sell it separately too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Real happy with ALG. 4 lengths, 4 colors, and 3 different styles. Best of all the barrel nut and tube are ROCK SOLID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglou13 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 http://skidtactical.com/store/guntec-15-m-lok-rail/ i just bought this for a 3 gun ish build. 10.6 oz weight including nut made in usa m-lok price is user friendly (i can make load more bullets and drink more bulleit) started breaking it in today.... very light swings and stops well, i expected it to feel bigger in hand but it felt very good with c grip, and i felt i could control better price wise its budget, not a big name company. i don't see any design flaws, i dont love the bolts that attach tube to nut, nut seems delicate but its light weight, just slowly work up to final torque. i bought a slight blem could not find blem shipped super fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwink Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Im a big fan of the new G3 MI lightweight models. The mounting system works well and there is no indexing required. Just got this from Strongside Tactical and love it. Easy install, good feel, and no continuous rail on top (a plus for me). Even includes one 3 or 4" aluminum keymod rail section. I was debating this vs the helix among others, and this won as it saved me about $50. Weight is very similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breekarms Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 G3 M-LOK free float handguard is lightweight design. This design saves weight due to the milled rails on the 3,6,9 o'clock position. This allows for even more control of your weapon. This handguard profile has been designed to wrap over the top of the barrel to protect the shooter's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
