I just got an M&P 15 that is carbine length.  I'd like to get a new hand guard that would allow me to have a rail system for mounting accessories in the future.  What are your recommendations for something $100 or less.

UTG probably. I think they are $60.

I agree on the UTG Pro (Made in USA model) but you will be made fun of and told it is a POS. The gang will leave you alone if you buy this one:

....and its only $40.

For $25 more you could have a good Midwest Industries Gen 2 drop in

I've bought two of them so far, and they're excellent.

Thanks for the tip.  Once I roll over that $100 mark and get up around this price I might as well get a Troy Battle Rail, though.

I found a brand new Troy Battle Rail - Carbine drop in on eBay for $99.  Great thing was it had the Colt's Defense markings on it.



The quality parts are out there to be had.  Just be a little patient and you'll come across one.

Easy, $40 for a $130 pair of railed handguards. A bunch of people I know ordered them and got them a few days later. Very high quality, made in Israel

Magpul Moe Hand guard + detachable rails

I'll second that the MOE handguard with some rail sections is gtg. I've also got a surefire rail (m73 maybe?) that can often be found for under $100. The surefire has been rock solid since the day I mounted it.
