Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help with a Retro Build - Need to know Length of Triangle A1 Handguards
Posted: 3/11/2011 10:21:04 AM EDT
I have a retro M16 that I am building. I need to buy a set of handguards. I measured my colt upper and it looks like I need 12" triangle handguards, but I saw that the Triangle handguards are like 13+ inches. Can someone please measure their triangle handguards from end to end and let me know the length? Also, anyone have a set for sale? Thanks..

Triangle hand-guards are the same length as round A2 rifle hand-guards.  If your rifle has rifle length handguards you're good to go, remember that the front end of the triangles will be up inside the handguard cap, and the rear end will be under the delta ring (or slipring), so they may appear "longer" than the ones already on your rifle.

Overall length is 12 inches.After mounting on the rifle about 11 5/8th inches is visible
