JR Carbine hand guard options

If your on a budget, you could try airsoft AR15 forends from various Canadian stores. My JRC has been sporting a 80 cad Chinese knock off of a ALG Defense forend for almost a decade without issue.
 
I purchased the TNA handguard for mine. I did some research and found the shim/washer at the Volkswagen dealership parts dept. Do some searching, shouldnt be too hard to find the part number.
 
Interesting, I should laser cut some and start selling them lol thats all the TNA ones were if i recall correctly.
 
Shim or just shorten the handguard to clear the receiver, and then any standard AR handguard will fit. I can't stand ​quad rails, so I replaced mine a while ago. Can be done a pile of different ways, depending on what you have available to you. I used a milling machine, but you could also get by with a belt sander, angle grinder, or just a piece of friggin sandpaper on a flat surface if you had enough time and patience. It'll look funny if you put in on a standard dimension AR, but these things are pretty cheap from the usual chinesium dealers (Wish, Ali Express, etc), so you're not out much if you go that route.

I shaved down a regular AR barrel nut this way with varying grit sandpaper. It didn't actually take all that long - 15-20min. and some screwing around to see if I had taken enough off each time - probably 30min. of puttering...

It's wearing an A2 removable carry handle and full length AR handguards with the FSB installed with rockset and set screws dimpled into the barrel.
 
@ the 10:22 mark this is the issue youll likely have to overcome. The JRC needs a crap load of shims to take up barrel slop rather then just for indexing the forend.

 
Buy the take down forearm,/ tube...works great..I've had one on my JR for along time...easy take down..and if you wanted m-locks..you could always have a machinist cut the slots..
Cheers
