So I have my new AR15, I decided to go with an eBay handguard this time. For the love of God do not buy an eBay handguard. Not milspec and just yeah...
Anyway I am trying to decide which handguard to get to replace it. Here is what I have narrowed it down to. http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Odin_Works_KMod_Forend_Key_Mod_p/odin-f-km.htm http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Diamondhead_V_RS_T_KeyMod_Handguard_p/ddh-2215.htm http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Samson_Evolution_Rail_p/sam-evo-rail.htm#pr-header-back-to-top-linkm http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Midwest_Industries_12_SSK_Key_Mod_Handguard_p/mi-ssk12.htm#ReviewHeader Those are the four choices, I will take recommendations or just which you recommend out of the four. Looking for decent quality and reliable brand (which I know all those are). Here is my AR with the current handguard: 
Thanks guys |

ALG 12" is on sale at primary arms right now. That would be my pick.

I went with a BCM Keymod. Buy once cry once. I wanted a non-indexing barrel nut. Easier to torque. The BCM is a perfect tight fir with an anti move pin. I got it on ebay for about half price at $120.

All the options in the original post are fine enough. Pretty much pick one you like. Here is a rail from Seekins that is another option. http://www.schuylerarmsco.com/product.seekins-precision-noxs-keymod-rail-12-black-finish-0010530045-5-993 Aero Precision also has some nice rails to look at as well. |

I'm looking at the 14.5" POF renegade m-lock rail. It weights 8.8oz and comes with a heat sink battle not to keep the handguard cool. I've seen it around for $170.

Just curious, what problems did you run into with the eBay rail?

Of your choices listed, the MI.
Give SLR a look, they have a good non-indexing barrel nut and clamping system... BTW, the diamondhead rails that I have installed for other folks, have a nice feeling in he hand (I guess because of the profile) but are considerably heavy for what they are. |

I went with Matrix free float handguards that I got from Chandler Hardwoods. I'm really happy with them.

IMO one can NEVER go wrong with any MI rail. I have over a dozen on rifles from 5.56 to .475 TREMOR. They hold up, they are light, they work. I see no reason to personally use any other rail.

I had one of the original VRS handguards and the thing was really heavy. I ended up swapping it for an ALG. I have a Midwest Industries handguard on a different rifle and I love it. It's super light and my accessories went right on without a hitch. |

I love my Diamondhead VRS-T. It is very well made, super comfortable to hold, and they have versions with or without keymod. I have the non-keymod setup with a Faxon Gunner light weight barrel and it is one of the best handling AR's I own.
