Your question seems a bit confusioning to me. Free flot refers do not touch anything forward of the barrel nut. 2 peice require attatching at the barrke nut as well as the front handgaurd cap. Thus not free floating. 2- peice and free float are ....well 2 different things! Maybe I am just not getting what your asking though. ETA: Unless your talking about a DCM FF tube and standard handgaurds. |

I haven't seen a 2 piece free float that didn't have rails.
If you want a 2 piece without rails, you would have to go non-free float. There are many styles of non-railed ff handguards that are not 2 piece if you really don't have your heart set on a 2 piece. |

By "non-tactical" I am presuming you mean no rails? If that is that case, then no. Do you want to 2 piece so you do not have to take off the FSB and achieve FF? Just get a railed system and put rail covers on it. That would be the best way to go. That way, you can add a light (if your AR is a defensive weapon then a light is mandatory) more effectively and easily.

The only thing I can think of that is "non-tactical" is the DCM, PRI carbon tubes, or some of the other non-railed or add later FF tubes, but none of those are 2 piece so far as I know. OP- Why do you need 2 pieces? What are you planning to mount both pieces to? |

The Armalite, Hogue, and JP FF handguards are two pieces....the barrel nut and the tube. I am sure there are others that are made in this configuration.

I think he means 2 piece handguards like the MI and Troy handguards that are FF and the tube comes apart, just without the rails. |

Actual that is not correct. The handgaurd is only one peice. The Barrel nut is, a barrel nut. With your logic a 2 piece forearm would actually be a 7 piece. The delta parts, and front hangaurd cap as well as the handgaurds which may have heat shields adding another 2 parts! Hell that would make them 9 piece,

Thanks for the replies. Yea I am talking about a free floating handguard with no rails that you can install w/out removing the front sights and gas block.
I was looking at the MI and Troy, but I just dont need the rails. And I would rather not alter the sights. |

Do you need freefloat handguards? Many people indicate that you will not see an accuracy change with ff handguards. YHM makes a non-ff 2 piece tube to replace your plastic handguards. Although, without rails, you haven't gained anything with that setup. You can always use a Troy style rail and get some rail covers, like the Tango Down covers, and give it a similar feel as the M4 handguards. |
