I picked up a Barrel upper from my friend and FFL the other day and had a question on the hand-guards.
They seem to be big, or wide to me, Do they made a thinner one? Also is this what they call a Car hand guard? On my full length rifle the hand guards are slimmer. Thanks, strangms

OP your handguards look like they're on backwards, the usual taper toward the front is not there. Is that just how those handguards are? Read the previous replies - it's the way they are made. OP; if you like the traditional tapered hand guards but want the slimmest mid-lengths, the Armalites are what you want. 
I liked the regular MOE grip better.

B5 has a thinner option if I.remember correctly. Does B5 make a midlength? OP, those are Cav Arms thick profile handguards, yes they are larger than typical. The Armalite standard handguards are previously mentioned are the thinnest of the "standard" type handguards. If B5 makes a midlength, they should be very thin. The Magpul MOE SL handguard is very slim and also extends forward to cover the underside of the front sight base. You already have a round handguard cap which is necessary for the MOE SL. |

Yes B5 does make a mid-length but they feel cheap, really cheap. The Keymod slots definitely aren't strong enough to hold anything and they really don't fit together well. I was really disappointed and ended up getting MOE hand guards which are fat and heavy. |

B5's are the slimmest. Followed by RRA middy's, followed by Cav C8's (which are the same as Armalites). The slimmest "stock looking" middy's are RRA's (I have them and others, and the difference is quite noticeable). The only issue is RRA heat shields suck (they are flimsy and shaped weird), I now prefer the C8's over the RRA's simply because the C8's have a MUCH better heat shield in them. B5's are the slimmest, by far, but are not your typical "stock" looking handguards. MP "slimline" are kind of slim width wise, but not vertically (plus they require you to ditch your "standard" triangle cap for a carbine round cap. No go in my book). |
