M1A handguards

[MiniMe]

Hi

Does anyone know where to get a handguard for the m1a in Canada?
I'm looking for the regular plastic one, in black.
I got an OD green archangel stock for my m14, but the handguard is brown. Looks fugly now. LOL

If I can't find one, I think I'll paint it....
What kind paint would be recommended?

Tks

I used brown and black krylon camo paint on separate handguards. Its Non reflective BUT i found it looked a bit more like the original after a good rubdown with a rag or some 0000 steel wool. Makes it a bit less non reflective but it looks better IMO.

I have a black one I would trade for your brown one.

Black slotted hand guards are what the cool kids are using. I don't know they are worth, but if you're interested let me know. Trades? (M1, M14 parts, or what have you)

Slotted or more prone to breakage. Also let’s heat waves from the barrel coming to your site picture. But they do look cool! I have a few of them that I’m running.

These don't fit on my rifle, they are designed for standard and medium contour, I got a heavy barrel.
