THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I'm putting together a DPMS Style 308 and wanting a good, but cheap handguard. Are the ones I have found about it?

DPMS
Fulton

More expensive:
JP
Troy
DD
Etc

What do you suggest...on a budget?

DPMS solid free float ~$50, DPMS slotted free float ~$75. Fits easily with a low pro block. you can time the slotted tube so the slots are at 3, 6, 9 etc with a bit of BLUE loctite if it doesn't line up naturally MOE rails and accessories fit nicely with this.
