Derek45 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Wasn't somebody making a CARBON FIBER tube that fit the JP handguards ? Like these..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Carbon arms used to make one, but then they developed their own barrel nut and quit making the one that was compatible with the JP nut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

",,, Hi Derek, Thank you for contacting us. While they are similar, our LCR5 tubes would not be interchangeable with the JP. Please, let us know if you have any, other questions. Best Regards, Dan...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taco2000 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 lancer is the only option? besides , anywhere i can find the the weight info for JP handguard? can't find on the official website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek45 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Looks like the lancer is heavier than the Midwest Ind. LW MLOK, and I suspect the JP is a bit heavier than the Lancer. I've had my JP for a long time. It's VERY solid The Lancer sure looks the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the weight info, I am currently using JP RC handguard, seems getting carbon arms is the only option. let me know if you wanna sell your carbon arms hg.

MarkCO Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Carbon Arms did make the direct replacement JP, but we had trouble getting JP nuts in enough quantity and many folks wanted a complete system. When Lancer copied our system, we changed to the Gen2 with a DPMS style nut. Our nut is lighter than the JP nut, so there is a weight savings there as well. If you wanted to make your own, one certainly could. A 2" long aluminum sleeve glued into a 2" OD piece of carbon fiber tube is all you would need. Make sure to use a Diamond bit and drill under liquid so you don't have carbon fiber dust, which is hazardous to your lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Didn't Clark make a carbon fiber tube... that was just glued onto the barrel nut? Oh....wait...they have a clamp on system now.... no glue....no epoxy: https://clarkcustomguns.com/parts-category/ar-15/ but it doesn't have the cool guy ventilation slots milled into it. Clark says theirs has an I.D. of 1.88. What is the diameter of the JP nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Somebody here in this forum had made their own carbon fiber handguard/free float tube. I am pretty sure I posted in his thread. At that time, I was thinking a CF/kevlar tube would look pretty cool: Go with a 2X2 twill. Even cooler is if you could match the grip and buttstock color.

Bill Schwab Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I have a JP and Lancer LCH5 handguard I want to upgrade to M-Lok. Not seeing any options above that work. I know Lancer announced they are moving to M-Lok, but no options yet other than M-Lok MPX. Anyone here know something I don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
