They do as an add on. The standard CAR handguards come with their uppers.
If you want one, any brand is good. |

Ditto. Just order the Bushmaster ones. I had a set on two different carbines and really liked them. |

Bushmaster and RRA buy their furniture from the same supplier. RRA charges less for theirs.

Just FYI. Both the RRA and BM M4 handguards are the correct larger oval profile but neither of them use the double heat shields any more. Colt threatened a lawsuit so they both now use a single heat shield top and bottom. You will find older handguards from both manufacturers that did use double heat shields but not recent production.

I got the DPMS Glacier Guards because they are really fat and thick with the fifteen internal cooling fins . They are strong and the fins provide superior cooling than the metal heat shields . They feel so much better than those thin M4 handguards .

That's odd....I have a set of BM and RRA black CAR handguards and they are NOT made the same the BM ones are made better and have different heatshields. The BM ones fit tight and the RRA ones are loose on the same AR. I think the same company ony makes their colapsable stocks. |

The DPMS Glacier Guards are a sick joke.
They do nothing at all. How could they? Real "cooling fins" are milled into a barrel and conduct heat directly through the metal. The DPMS Glacier Guards do not even touch the barrel! So how can they dissipate any heat? Tell me that, huh! |
