I assume you're talking free-float? Troy and Samson come to mind..

Free Float or non free-float?

I have the DI Samson and it's very solid when mounted. It was also a very easy and quick install.

Correction. It does not matter on the free float or not. I just want a system that will install in place of my handguards, with no removal of the delta ring or the front sight.

YHM = Best bang for the buck.
I have a lightweight free float mid length on my latest build and I like it just fine. I haven't tried their two piece, but if my FF is any indication of quality I'd say they must be pretty good. Check out Eagle Firearms and Bright Flashlights for good price, service and selection. They're both dealers on the Industry board. |

Carbine or rifle handguards?
Either way +1 KAC RAS (M4 model for carbines and M5 for rifles). For carbines KAC have an optional UK-SAS lower rail with clamp part # 20033, you could either get it now or later. I have a M4 RAS and it's still very solid.

KAC -- Best, pricy
YHM -- Cheapest, good Surefire -- thinnest, great value -- won't line up with flattops |

If you want free-floating, they all require modification. But the regular rail-guards are installed exactly the same way as the regular hand guards are installed, it's very simple. |

No, the KAC doesn't require any modification, it just installs like standard plastic handguards except it has an internal locking bracket which locks to the barrel nut, you just turn a screw at the top of the rail to lock it in.

I prefer the MI for a two piece non-FF. I don't like the way the YHM rails are split down the middle. I don't like the way the SureFire top rail does not line up with the upper receiver. Fit, finish and price I like the MI.

I agree with Lancelot on the MI 2 piece. I have one on a 16 mid-length, and it is rock solid. However, I have no experience with other brands.
