Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - M4 Handguards
Posted: 10/4/2002 7:12:23 PM EDT
What is the difference between M4 style handguards vs. normal carbine handguards? I can't seem to find a picture of them anywhere.

Thanks...

The M4 style handguards are a bit "fatter" vertically and the real ones have a double heatshield, whereas the standard CAR handguards are narrow and have a single aluminum heat shield, or none at all.
