Quick question. What replacement hand guards are the appropriate rail height for the bushmaster ORC?

Troy has a guide for determining the difference between the new lower height and the older upper height, but they don't say which one the hand guards will work with it.

The new Troy Handguards are available in either height.  The new height is what they refer to as DPMS low profile, while the old height is the DPMS high profile.  The ORC is the new height or as Troy would call it the low profile, thats the one you need to have the rails on the receiver and handguard line up.  The new height rails are available in both the TRX and the MRF quad rail

Do you know if anyone else offers the new height?

Obviously DPMS's rails line up  Oh you mean other aftermarket, well PRI makes a new SPR rail for their tubes to line up with the new height and JP has a rail that is suppose to line up with the new lower receiver height.  Samson Mfg's evolution rail is suppose to have a DPMS specific rail coming out pretty soon too.  I'm sure more companies will continue to play ball with the new height considering the amount of sales DPMS has.
