If you have the C5 (no taper) handguards you can just add the CavArms polymer rail. Apparently it can be trimmed to fit your use.
Otherwise there are metal/alloy(?) options out there. See GG&G [url]www.gggaz.com[/url] or AAC [url]http://www.advanced-armament.com/ar-15.html[/url]. Good luck and let us know what you do! (Pics always help. [;)]) |

[url]www.sogarmory.com[/url] has a lot of interesting rail/adaptors/mounts.
Some are from GG&G and ARMS; some I don't recognize. This might be something you could use: [url]www.sogarmory.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101227[/url] |

Denny's Guns is selling rails for tapered handguards on the [url=ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=22&t=157259]EE[/url]. You might also consider the Fobus M33 handguards, just using the bottom half with a regular upper half, and trimming the rail cover to fit behind your weapons light.

The first one from SOG is some kind of fiber material. [url]http://www.sogarmory.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101227[/url]
[img]http://www.sogarmory.com/ProductImages/1010_3.jpg[/img] Don't know how long it is. Great price though! |

Yeah, I don't really know anything about it.
It caught my eye though because I had just read a "how to" article on the maryland AR shooters site on attaching an accessory rail to the handguards and it seemed like the little rail from SOG was a very similar idea.

Oops, I missed the fact that you said you also had a standard (angled) set of handguards.
If you want to mount to these definitely get Denny's GTS angled rail. I have one and it is a good solution for angled rails. I only recommended the straight rails for the C5 handguards. |

Quoted: The first one from SOG is some kind of fiber material. [url]http://www.sogarmory.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101227[/url] [url]http://www.sogarmory.com/ProductImages/1010_3.jpg[/url] Don't know how long it is. Great price though! The SOG rail is 2 1/4" long. If anyone is keeping score, the GG&G adaptor for the M3 is 1 3/4" long. So it is just long enough for that application. The folks at GTS kindly recommended that I buy one of theirs for the tapered handguards and use something called a hack saw to shorten it down. Who makes this hack saw thing. Is that a Bushmaster product? ARMS? Will it mount on my RAS?[chainsaw] |

A hacksaw is a commonly used tool, when adding rails to handguards.[;)]
