Anyone have any idea why the Israeli light-barrel handguards are so rare? I cant find them anywhere

SARCO used to have a boatload of them, but it looks like they're out of stock now.  It's where I got my light barrel furniture and hardware....







I think HB handguards can be fitted to a light barrel with a little work....

HB handguards are still quite common, but LBs have always been less common. Check the EE here and the Marketplace on the Fal Files for them, as they pop up occasionally.

Just keep an eye out for them.  If I did not have the short STG gas tube I would have a set on my Para in a heartbeat.  

That is a great looking carbine posted above~!

They are commonplace, finding them for what many would consider a reasonable price is another matter.

Thanks.  Moses at CMP Armory built this one.  I hand picked the LB furniture from Sarco when I was in NJ about 5-6 years ago.

They are usually pretty cheap when a bunch get imported, then the price goes back up again when they dry out.  Right now they are pretty much dried up.
