For instead snap on handguards with rail that could possibility handle a Optic, your only choices are KAC RAS, SIR #51 which is free float and clamps to your handle or the new but soon to arrive GG&G FF handguards. the GG&G handguards will require you to remove the delta ring which can be accomplish by slicing it in quarter with a dremel. the handguard clamps to your barrel nut with a top and bottom piece, it is fasten by allenscrews. the rail are multi-position adjustable. I don't know the performance of the handguard because I am still waiting for one to do a test but from what I see so far, it is very promising. the top rail is in the same plain with the flat top rail so if you decided to mount an EOTech, it will co-witness perfectly with your A2 carrying handle upper. The SIR #51 is a great piece, but the height of the ARMS rail forward of the handguard is the same as the ARMS #39, which is too high for co-witness with EOTech. the KAC RAS is not a free float piece and you might experience some POI shift if the handguard become loose, but probably anything torso size within 200 yard are fair game using the EOTech/KAC RAS combo. I think the GG&G is the cheapest with KAC RAS to follow and the SIR being the most expensive and most technology driven.
Hope this helps.
