What companies are currently making MLOK 13.5" free float handguards utilizing the standard barrel nut? I did some searching but the info I found seems outdated.

I have a PSA Premium 16" 300 BLK upper with pistol length gas. I want to have the front sight removed so I can install a MLOK handguard about 13.5" long. The pistol gas system is separate from the front sight.  If I select a handguard that uses the standard barrel nut, I'm thinking I can install the handguard myself since I won't have to remove the barrel.  I don't have tools to change out the barrel nut.  Or should I just forget about the standard barrel nut and pay a gunsmith to install the proprietary barrel nut for a handguard?

I'm looking for a quality but reasonably priced handguard. Thank you for the information!

I appreciate the replys.  I went with a Gen 3 Midwest Industries 15" Keymod handguard.  It requires a proprietary barrel nut but I had a local gunshop (Trinity Ordinance in Lake Worth, TX) that was willing to do the work at a reasonable price. The guy did a good job on the installation.  It looks and works nice.
