One problem with the standard handguards will be the point of impact shifting. I owned a Colt lightweight and it was quite accurate (consistant 1 1/2" groups, 100yds) but, the impact would radically shift (6" or more) with different pressure on the barrel.
Free floating would/should eliminate the shifting POI. |

A FF RAS, RAS II, or SIR handguard would be fine, but I would avoid the standard aluminum FF tubes, as they are designed for target guns and their slow rate of fire. For a field gun, where rapid fire is likely, the unvented aluminum handguards will get too hot to hold.
Note that the RAS II and SIR can be installed in place of the standard handguards after the fact. -Troy |
