Odin Works Rune Handguard

[Esquire]

Hey guys, I'm taking an AR I built a couple of years ago, tweaking it, and repurposing it as a 3-gun rifle.  It has an 18" Wilson Combat stainless barrel on it.  Because of budget constraints at the time, I didn't do a free-float handguard then and I'm looking to switch to one now.  I thought the Rune 15.5" handguard looked like it would be a good option, but didn't know if you all had any thoughts on whether I ought to get something else a little longer that would cover more of the barrel?  Going to add a Miculek comp, as well.

Thoughts?

15.5 is plenty long (will cover past a rifle length gas block).

Odin makes very nice, lightweight handguards. You need a large wrench to install that is available on their site or on Amazon.

I'm a fan of the Miculek comp...  while I haven't had a chance to run any matches with it yet... it allows me to view target strikes on paper at 300y with a 25x scope with nothing more than a bipod supporting the rifle.

 

Still a bit too much movement at 200y with the 25x scope... but 300y was impossible to follow without the comp installed.

 

This being with standard 3100fps 55gr factory loads.

Can't wait to see how it'll help double taps/etc while shooting offhand and a more reasonable 1-4x scope.
