Does anyone make a Handguard that is a solid black tube with a rail on top?  With no keyholes or holes/slits of any kind.

Only one I can think of.


Edit oops missed the rail on top part.

Why would you want something like that? Those holes act as lightening cuts. Just don't use the keymod/MLOK attachments.

comfort?  Asthetics?  Those are the two most obvious that I can think of.

I just thought it would look boss.  I've seen some that are solid, but none with a rail.

They get hot.  Very hot.

Don't try to do any extended quick firing with a solid tube, the hand guard will get very warm and uncomfortable to grip.

How would it be worse than an A2 stock?

stock handgaurds have ventilation holes / airflow.

There is a reason why the market is not brimming with solid tube handgaurds (heavy and hot).  What you want is a tube with M-Lok () or Keymod ()

Look into some of the carbon fiber tubes from Lancer, Clark, etc. - the only tricky part is finding one with a rail on top.

Yes, the carbon fiber option looks great.  I'm starting to lean toward going with a holo and no backup iron sights.  But, that's the beauty of building slowly.  I can put a lot of thought into each component purchased.
