bigstick0000 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I have a jp gmr15. Ordered the new lightweight competition Barrel I'm ordering a carbon fiber handguard. Does anyone have any thoughts on the left I'm looking at between 12 and 14 in. Also has to clear the compensator any thoughts please. Does anyone know the difference between the PCC handguard and the AR handguard from Some composite Edited May 8, 2019 by bigstick0000 clarify difference Link to comment
ABQautoxer Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have a 12" on mine from Smoke Composites on both of ours. I think its the perfect length for me, the GF could get away with a shorter one as she's 5'. Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) 15" on mine, but I hold at about 12-13" and have my pointer finger extended towards target and reaching the end. My suppressed SBR I have for fun is equipped with a 13", but I put a sling stud at 12" to wrap my pointer finger around so I wouldn't extend past the boom boom zone.

Bwillis Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) 13.5 unless it’s a mbx barrel then 12.5. This is my 13.5 smoke hg on a shooting innovations 14.5 with answer comp. Ar15 diameter with top rail. The top rail can only be used with ar15 diameter hg. Edited May 8, 2019 by Bwillis Link to comment
bigstick0000 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Awesome, just what I needed. Thank you Link to comment
LtdShooter Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) +1 on what Bwillis noted.... I'm running an SLR 13.7 on a 14.5 barrel. Barrel is completely in the HG and comp is fully outside. Perfect match. One thing you may want to consider is putting a small hand stop at the end of the HG. With your supporting arm fully extended its pretty easy to get your off hand close to the comp (not a good thing). Edited May 8, 2019 by LtdShooter Link to comment

S&W627shooter Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I cut down my 16" barrel to 13.25" with a 3" comp, so my Taccom Carbon Fiber handguard is just under 13". I bought the 16" handguard and cut it down to come right to the end of the barrel. Link to comment
