I'm having trouble finding a handguard I like in my budget and I'm looking for input. I will be using an 11.5" Noveske barrel and I would like the rail to be between 10"-10.75, closer to he high end if I can. I was considering a KAC URX II or 3.1 but it's my understanding that the barrel nut makes that a less than stellar choice. There is also the SLR solo but it is very open and I'm not sure I want that if I use a stainless barrel. I would probably consider a DD rail, but $400 is out of my budget on this one.

I went w/ a KAC. There's not many out there that are in the 10.75" range which is what I like. I like being as close to the muzzle w/ still being able to put a can on it.
I just saw the SLR has one like that as well. I wish Geissele would make a 10.75" rail. I'd be all over that. Could also get an 11" rail and chop mod it if using a can.  |

I'm in the same boat, looking for a handgaurd for my 11.5" 6.8 spc. I like the Geissele but it's a bit too short for my liking at 9.5" unless I cut the barrel to 10.5". I'm torn between a Knights 3.1 or 4 and the SLR m lok rails. I'm almost tempted to get another Larue quad rail, they are heavier than the m lok rails out there but built like a brick shit house.
I have 3 other Larue rails and I don't have any complaints with them besides weight. That really isn't a factor with my sbr's as they are light enough for me already. I know everyone is moving in the direction of m lok so I want to give it a shot at the least, picking one that looks good with a good mounting system is my issue. Eta: Is there anything that keeps the Knight's rails from getting twisted out of square from the reciever besides the barrel nut? Haven't seen anything that says there is, hope someone sees this that has one. |

The lines match up really well with the rail, which I'm going to be getting soon. |

I'm in the same boat, looking for a handgaurd for my 11.5" 6.8 spc. I like the Geissele but it's a bit too short for my liking at 9.5" unless I cut the barrel to 10.5". I'm torn between a Knights 3.1 or 4 and the SLR m lok rails. I'm almost tempted to get another Larue quad rail, they are heavier than the m lok rails out there but built like a brick shit house. I have 3 other Larue rails and I don't have any complaints with them besides weight. That really isn't a factor with my sbr's as they are light enough for me already. I know everyone is moving in the direction of m lok so I want to give it a shot at the least, picking one that looks good with a good mounting system is my issue. Eta: Is there anything that keeps the Knight's rails from getting twisted out of square from the reciever besides the barrel nut? Haven't seen anything that says there is, hope someone sees this that has one. If installed properly, the URX rail has less chance of rotating than about any rail on the market. Most of the large barrel but/punch rail offerings from other companies rely on Allen screws to secure them from axial rotation. I've seen this system come loose on more than a few rifles. Of that half dozen uppers I've assembled on URX rails I've never had one come loose for any reason, including abusive full auto fire on post sample MG's we used for destructive suppressor testing. I can't say the same for other rails, where Allen screws would loosen after multiple heat cycles if not checked and retorqued periodically. |

I have a URX4 on a 9mm SBR that has never given me any issues. Very solid.

Depending on which can you go with, with the SLR rail you could go with their 10.7 or even the 11" on an 11.5" barrel. i posted that other pic of my blackout because it has a stainless Noveske barrel on it.
I also have a 10" ION Lite on a 10.5". with the SiCo ASR mount its really close.
