Ideas for any extremely long AR15 handguards...

[Boom_Stick]

I fell in love with this long handguard but unfortunately they don't ship to Canada.

So I was wondering if anyone else out there who is like me planning on buidling a 20 inch or 18inch upper had any ideas for a nice looking handguard.

The longest rail we carry in the Rainier Arms Night Rail at 16-inches

Brownells carries a good selection.
Midwest Industries has a 18" G3 M-Series M-Lok for about $200 us

Heavy loaded front end on a gun? Huh, not for me!

I run the Geissele Super Modular Mk8 in 15" length. Works great with my 18" barrel, weight balance and quality is top notch. Arms east, a sponsor, can get them for you.

I did a 14.5 middy with troy 15inch handguard.

Here's a 16.5" on the market:

IRUNGUNS could probably help you out with the import, if permitted, and your wallet allows.

I ended up getting this 1
Great price for the combo from Brownells
Thank you for the advice everyone

Meh, if you're not a "brand snob" and want a cheap and surprisingly good rail, try out the new Leapers UTG Pro line. Marstar is the Canadian dealer.


Yes, I actually recommended Leapers UTG.......

I run guns is looking to do custom free float rails. The one on their page is very "machine gun barrel shroud" esque.

I can attest to this mans fine taste in handguard-to-barrel ratios.

Only downside is that I can't access the gas port without removing the whole guard.

How often are you accessing the gas port?

And the main issue is that gas pressure can blow out your hand guard if there is not enought room for your brake.

I've never really needed to access it; if suppressors ever became legal, I'd have an excuse. Concerning the break, there doesn't appear to be any significant build up or wear on the end of the guard, so the gas is escaping as it should be; I suppose this would be a bigger issue on non-perforated handguards, especially carbon fiber ones. I would think putting your hand at the end of your guard could spell a blistered hand, though.

I do see how it could go terribly wrong, if there's not enough space (and if the brake is aggressive enough):

I used a troy claymore.
