I purchased my first AR15 back in May of this year and really got hooked.  I decided to do a build of my own and it really has been fun and also a learning experience.  The only thing I am undecided on is what freefloat handguard to use and would appreciate any suggestions.

Below is how the build has gone so far:

Aero Precision OD lower and upper
DD lower parts kit
BCM buffer tube w/H2 buffer
Larue Rat Butt stock
DD 16" LW Mid Barrel
DD low profile gas block
Sure Fire muzzle break
WMD BCG

Look at www.seekinsprecision.com

They make really nice quality stuff and their rails are no exception

THIS

It's thin, lightweight, and has the new gen mounting system on it. Oh and it's not $400+

I like the MI Gen II SS. Similar to the keymod, light and easy to install.

I like the MI rails as well.  I recently installed one on a build.  One thing to watch on this type of mounting system, be very careful when you torque the two attachment bolts.  It is very easy to over-tighten and bend the tabs that engage the barrel nut on the back side of the hand guard, resulting in the rail not aligning properly with the upper.  I made this mistake using just an allen wrench...should have grabbed the torque wrench.

Yup. Or as the other guy stated, their Gen2 SS rail.
At Primary Arms for a great price Gen2 SS 12"

Or their quad rail, again at Primary

The Noveske NSR 15 is on sale at DSGArms for $200 right now. Great rail.

Everyone has given me some great suggestions. Thanks!  I have decided to go with the Seekins MCSR V2 and was wondering if the 12" or 15" would be better for this build (16"mid length)?

I like a rail that is 1" less than barrel length, in general.  So my vote is 15"
