Lightweight, slick, somewhat lo-profile. very versatile. The ability to add rails add you need them and in any place on the rail makes it really nice...

I went with a 9" for my carbine setup, used cmmg micro gb. 16" pencil bbl

OST,

What do you think your rig weighs? I am considering a similar lightweight build for coyote hunting.

I have mine setup like Brian Lamb. Carbine length gas setup with the rifle length rail over the cut down FSB.

VERY flexible and solid setup. I highly recommend it.

The rails are not cheap, but, the setup is SOLID.

someone else already posted, but, LaRue for full length rails where needed.

So, does anyone have these handguards in stock?

My 14.5 LMT with rifle length:

For a light, basic FF set-up these can't be beat.

I think they'd be perfect for a 10.5 build, nice and lightweight. Get a KX3 to balance it out.

Now like a previous poster said, I haven't seen them in stock anywhere for a while.

Everyone's low on these, best thing to do is backorder one with VTAC or JP and get on the list

I hate JP handguards because they cost me to much $

What is going on with the Flash Hider (tip of the bbl) in this pic? never seen this

I like them but they are a bitch to install.

It looks like the SBX barrels Tactical Solutions made for the 10/22's

Short barrel with a shroud so you can have the short overall length with a can without a SBR

Anyone know of or have any rail sections for the VTAC for sale? Everywhere I look they are sold out.

I just ordered one from JP rifles any idea how long it is taking to get them on back order? Are we talking weeks or months.
its the last piece for my 18" 6.8 build and I can't wait.

Rainier Arms shows the Mid and Rifle length handguards in stock. However, I was looking at the photo of the three handguard sizes and noticed something. It looks like there are different numbers of screws holding the tube to the barrel nut.

Is it just the way the tubes rolled for the photo?
