| What would be the advantages, if any, of running a longer handgaurd on my carbine besides more rail space? |

You can grab the handguard further forward, which aligns with what many instructors are advocating nowadays. How much more efficient is that technique than holding just where it is comfortable (which means in the middle of a 7" rail)? Just use whatever feels most comfortable to you, not everyone has to be a Costa

You have better control of the muzzle the further out you go, but having your arm extended is very fatiguing if you're doing anything more than a drill in my experience. |

Thats my experience too whenever ive shot like that. But its a good habit to have i guess. I could always just get the longer rail, try the hand further out and if i dont like it just move the afg back. |

Better control on multiple shots, better control on full auto (if available). I thought it was a silly gimmick and then forced myself to try it. Works pretty well, for certain applications. You do muscle the heck out of the weapon, so it's not as good for accuracy as a traditional marksman stance, but it's very good for close ranges. |
