I would like to put a full rifle length rail hand guard on my HBAR varmit rifle.
What's the opinion on this UTG one from AIM http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/UTG_2-Piece_Rifle_Length_4_Rail_Handguard_w__Rail_covers.html |

The price for rails usually speaks for their quality. With that you will get 65 dollars worth of rail you will want to replace soon after you put it on. The best bang for your buck will probably be with Midwest Industries. Their rails are priced right and are really well made. YHM is also a cheaper rail but still way better quality than UTG.
And that UTG is not free floating. |

You would be much better off buying a YHM free floating rail system. They are about as cheap as I would go, and mine works just fine for my rifle.
UTG makes those rail systems for airsoft guns. I wouldn't trust an airsoft rail's barrel nut to the pressures of a 5.56 cartridge. Who knows how many rounds you will get to shoot before the pot metal barrel nut gives out? |
