Toying with the idea of an 8" 300 and I'm kind of stuck on the handguard. Options seem to pretty limited, suggestions?

I want lightweight and slim if I can help it. Geissele makes one, but this will be a beater upper so I don't want to spend that much.

My 8.3" BA barrel mates up almost perfectly with the Wilson Combat TRIM carbine rail.

The rail isn't the simplest install, but in the end I'm happy with the setup.

I love the KMR and own two of them, but keymod is a dying breed, I don't want to be any more invested in it than I already am.

Nothing attached so keymod didn't matter to me.

Iv been stuck on the MI G3?
1.5" wide and is available in mlok or key mod.
I have the 9.25" with a 10" barrel.
Barrel sticks out aprox 1/8th of a inch + threads

With a 8" barrel...they do make a 7.25, that will give you the same thing.

I put a UTG Pro 7 inch on my 8" BO but there isn't much other than 2 inch sections of rail that can be added. The handguard is well built and the barrel nut arrangement is easy and it comes with the wrench.

I went with Geissele during their black Friday sales and glad I did.  Perfect fit with an 8" barrel

I'm gearing up to start a build on an 8.5'' 300BLK. I was initially looking at the SLR Solo, but now I am leaning toward the Matrix Charlie.

I put a 7-inch Free Float Slim on my 8.5 inch 300 BLK barrel. That way I do not have to worry about suppressor versus hand guard issues.
Also, I use FDE for my 300 BLK uppers and magazines as to differentiate them with 5.56 stuff.

hand guard
this comes in black also

It's keymod, but you can grab a Noveske 7" NSR (chainsaw) for $100 right now at Primary Arms.

Believe the sale ends today.
