Looking for FF hand guard ideas for a future 14.5" with pinned/welded muzzle brake to make it over 16".

 

I'm looking to go light weight, and want as close to mb as possible.

 

 

Troy Alpha - good choice if you have a standard barrel nut and a pinned muzzle break:

 

13" tube on a 14.5" barrel (break pinned to make 16"):

 

13" Troy Alpha on 16" barrel + brake:

 

13" ALG EMR V2 MLOK on 14.5" barrel (pinned brake to make 16"):

 

My new favorite rail for a new build where you are install the barrel nut before pinning the muzzle device. I am really digging the MLOK direct attachment options as well. It is a very lightweight rail, that is slim, easy to install, and very affordable (~$145)

Here's the 14.5 with yhm free float it's pretty heavy

I'm using this rail for my first ground up build. The barrel nut seems stupid simple to install for a first timer. Any tips? What attachments are you using? It seems there isn't a huge market yet but every big company is rolling stuff out slowly

Follow the directions and you'll be fine. Be careful not to take the colored sharpie off the shims.

 

I'm using the Magpul MLOK handstop and sling mount with an Arisaka light mount. I am very pleased.

Here's a Nordic components mid length tube with rail on a 14.7 barrel pinned to 16"

 

BCM 14.5" ELW barrel and BCM 13" KMR handguard @ 7.7oz .. total weight without optics was 5lbs 7oz 

Rainier Arms 14.5" ultra match 300 blackout with BCM KMR 13"

 

 

Wilson Combat with match barrel and Wilson Combat TRIM rail.  It's been repainted and I'll post an update when I get it back.

 

 

Spikes Tactical with Spikes BAR Rail.

You should check out the lowers I posted about if you are doing a lightweight build

I just put a  13" utg super slim handguard on a upper build its pretty light 

Here is a Samson EVO 7 EX on a Stag Model 8 (piston) with a 16" barrel

 

Here's 13" Troy Aplha rail on a 14.5 pinned to 16.

 

And a 11" Troy Bravo rail on a 14.5 pinned to 16

My Spikes Tactical, Spikes BAR FF rail, 14.5" lightweight barrel, pinned Dynacomp bringing it to 16".

 

Spikes, YHM FF, BattleComp 1.5

 

If I were pinning one today, I would get a SureFire comp compatible with a Socom suppressor so you have a suppressor ready AR when you move out of state

How did you pin this stock? Feels solid? I was thinking of getting one myself. They say it's a very tight fit?
