When I was talking to the CFO about converting my ACR back and forth they told me the 30 day period was when you were allowed to transport your now unregistered restricted firearm to a verifier, you could not take it to the range and shoot it but you could transport it to a verifier or gunsmith.

^ Where does one get a handguard like that?

You may not like the answer, lol!
It's an airsoft clone of the Remington ACR hand guard (which I think may have been actually designed by Cadex for Remington).
I know, airsoft, most people here balk at that, but the guys on ACRforums down in the states have been using these hand guards for years without issues.

I’ve had the same ones for a few years now and my #### hasn’t fallen off, but there are more options now than before.

Giant thank you to arms east for the rifle and conversion!
Good looking rifle btw.
thank you! and yes like you said it is an airsoft rail off of a "WE MSK" rifle.

The plastic one or the cheese grater? Haha, don't mind the plastic one actually. I probably won't like the cheese graters until the ACR is older and they're considered retro and cool again, hahahahaha!
Going to be DLC coating the Firing pin, and bolt components (NEVER TiN or TiAlN a bolt if you don't know the material and it's tempering temp, you WILL ruin it). this rifle is easily the slickest action I've used, but there's always room to improve when you're bored. Once I do, I'll post some pics for you guys. I could offer this to people at what it costs me to get a larger batch but since I DLC a lot of stuff it's no big deal. DLC is a low temp deposition so won' affect the heat treat or the titanium pin. it will prevent any galling (Ti LOVES to gall), and reduce friction considerably as DLC is near Teflon CoF.
Re hardguards, whats actually available these days? RPM is pretty much unicorn piss, then there's a bunch of airsoft companies. What actually works?

Very nice. that's the direction I'm going in. Have the DMR (worth it for the trigger), need that stock and a new guard. Running a trijicon 1-8 and the same RMR on a 45 mount.
Got my ACR back from Heron Arms a while ago with it's new 12.5" barrel. Noticeably lighter and better balanced. Stainless 1/7 twist with a 223 Wylde chamber.
hey I know you
It's kind of funny, given all of the options, but the 'basic' polymer handguard is still my personal favorite.
Yup, I have no desire to change it.
I don't need or want rails all over the place and if I did you can add MOE rail sections to the polymer forend. I think a lot of people on here are simply addicted to complaining and then replacing parts for no real reason other than to save a couple grams of weight or be able to hang more junk off their rifle that they already complain is too heavy.

Wow, nice collection of hand guards
Well some junk is needed when you actually use your rifle. and having a M-Lok rail that is nice and slim is needed. The reduce weight is just a big bonus.
Lights, pressure pad,finger stops and QD mounts are standard on a fighting rifle.
I know what you're saying but I don't shoot at night and I can add any of those things to the standard polymer forend if I needed them. I have a rail on the bottom for my foregrip and I have a section of rail I can add to the side if I need to put on a light or laser.
How much lighter is the RPM handguard than the stock polymer one?
I 100% completely understand wanting to change out the Bushmaster railed aluminum forend though, I've shot a couple ACR's with it and it sucks.
