I am sending an upper in to have the NM float tube installed.  I need to pick which handguards I want.

What is the difference between the "thermomold" and the injection molded handguards that can be selected when buying the NM free float tube?

Which ones come on a premaid RRA NM rifle?

Thanks

Thermo-molded plastic is far more resistant to heating than regular injection molded polymer handguuards.  That can be important with a steel tube around your barrel and no heat shields in the HG.  We build our standard NM rifles and uppers with the thermo-molded HGs.

Thanks Steve.  Thermomold it is.
