Just finishing grabbing all the parts I need to build a 10.5" A2 build for one of my SBR lowers.  Had a set of leftover PSA carbine handguards but they are the oblong fat style that doesn't look right.  Where is the best place to pick up a set of reasonably priced slimmer, more "correct" HGs for this type build?  What are you guys using?

Thanks for the help!

This is what makes this community so awesome!  BTW, we do have a Pay-it-forward thread here in the A2 sub-forum for things like this:

Numrich has 6 holes for $20 as well (listed as Panther/DPMS). But like anything from numrich, you never know what you'll get. One set I received were dull textured repro's and the other set were smooth, like new, and somewhat glossy similar to originals.

I don't want to hijack the thread but are the suggestions above also useful for locating a more 'used' version of carbine or rifle handguards for a BFPU styled AR15 A2 config?

Agreed, after working in the industry and hearing more and more about them, i stay far far away from their site.  Only things safe to get are items listed as true "surplus", otherwise it's probably from Taiwan.
