Title says it all. Looking for a slim FF handguard with rail attachments. Only real concern is which mounts better, a handguard with a supplied barrel nut or one that mounts on the standard barrel nut.
Priorities: 1) 9" handguard - want to keep the FSB 2) Around $200 3) Profile - Really like the MI Gen2 SS 4) Weight I'm pretty sold on the MI. I know Troy makes a few and Fortis is in my price range. Like the Geissele rail, but it is out of my justification level. ETA: I have a middy. Should of clarified. |

Price wise, I love my Troy rail. However, if I wanted a FSB cutout model, I'd shoot for the Centurion Arms C4 cutout (they made both a mid-length and carbine cutout), or a Daniel Defense. ETA: link to the Centurion. Sorry, my recommendations break the $200 budget. Check the EE for used ones. |

Mid-length gun perhaps? 
The Troy VTAC is a very lightweight rail, and in your price range. That's my vote too, here's the 9" for a mid-length: https://www.primaryarms.com/Troy_VTAC_Alpha_BattleRail_9_Black_No_Sight_p/strx-avk-90bt-01.htm |

LaRue (replaces barrel nut)
Daniel Defense(replaces barrel nut) Centurion (keeps the same) Can't go wrong with these. I prefer the FF that replace the barrel nut... they seem like they would be sturdier but I have never had a problem locking it on the the factory. Do you have a middy or is it a carbine and you want the cutout? |

Just like I recently recommended in another thread, but a different length. $180, standard barrel nut, light and you can keep your mid length FSB. |

I was just about to link this as well. I received mine a few days ago - top notch and very light. |
