I am looking for a thick ar handguard... the thicker the better. One that is still in production... Any suggestions?

Thick as in I.D? Seekins MSCR is 1.8" ID.

If you mean standard handguards, PSA has some that is larger in outer diameter than standard. I know they have them in mid length, not sure about carbine.

aero m4e1 is pretty big at 1.72" ID. i've got an osprey defense piston kit under mine, with ample clearance. it has the added benefit on mounting directly to their upper receiver

I have some pretty thick ones that came off of M4 style guns.

DPMS Glacier hand guards are M4 size and the thickest out there. Reinforced ribs internally and very robust.

YHM original profile quad rail...  Add some rail covers for even more girth.

Non-quad:
POF/Bushmaster Predator rail with the monolithic top rails
CoolTubz Operator is pretty fat (light)
RRA Half-Quad (heavy)

I love my Heads Down rail, as stated before it's very thick. I picked it up a couple years ago on sale for like $50 or so.
