[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where do I buy a round handguard cap?

Posted: 2/14/2006 11:30:13 AM EDT

I've got a triangular one now and need a round one. I've looked around and can't seem to find one online. Anybody got a source?

Why do you need a round one? The A2 handguards will work with either.

Also do you need a round one for a rifle or a carbine (they are different)?

I got a Surefire M81 for my midlength RRA and it requires a round instead of a triangular. What's the difference between the carbine and the rifle? I thought there were just triangular, round and M4 with the 203 cutouts?

You're right.

Brownells.com should have them if you didn't come up with one already.

Turns out they are sized differently. Yeah it surprised me as well.
