Looking for recommendations on a handguard for an aero M5 upper (dpms high profile). I want mlok with a full length top rail for a 12.5” barrel. So it needs to be 11-11.75” SLR and Cross machine is all I’m coming up with. I would prefer to stay under $250 so the SLR is a last resort. I’m not familiar with cross, just looking for other options before I pull the trigger. |

I also think Zev discontinued their Maten handguards; they used to have them on their website. The original Mega Arms founder is part of a new company, Icon Defense, and they make .308 handguards in drive lock, though pricey. https://killer-innovations.com/shop/icon-defense-308-drive-lock-handguards/ There's also MI Combat .308 which is in your preferred price range, and matches the DPMS high: https://midwestindustriesinc.com/308-combat-rail-dpms-high-m-lok-handguard/ There's also PRI CF handguards. |

Wow those icons look nice but if I spend over 300 I’m just going to get the SLR. I really like the Midwest and the price is right but they are a touch too long unfortunately. |
