So we did up a couple prototype forend enclosures for our upcoming Spectre G3 10/22 Chassis. These forend enclosures will allow you to mount sights, night vision, or just c-clamp the rifle.

These are made from aluminum, anodized, and bolt directly to the G3 chassis handguard. They're compatible with all barrels up to 0.920". The rail is the same height as rail on the C-71 and ST-22 receiver. These will not fit our other chassis. Pricing should be around $120 (This is not final!).

Which length do you prefer?

The short one looks ideal for more-definitely forward gear like a front iron sight. The long one might support a scout scope near its rear, or half a two-part/flip-up optic, but it starts to raise the question of a full-length rail because it looks like one with a piece missing out of the middle.
 
I like the short one myself because while being able to c-clamp it would be awesome, I also prefer minimal stuff on my chassis.
 
How about the same sort of deal, but with MLOK slots on top instead of integrated pic rail? I like throwing my thumb over top of a low profile handguard, but can't stand when there's pic rail there. If you wanted to mount something, a section of MLOK pic rail gets you there, but the pic rail isn't in the way if you don't want to.
 
A semi-tubular foreend that screws directly onto the aft chassis in place of the existing lower foreend might be more robust. Maybe have a full-length rail calculated to nicely meet the receiver rail. But not sure if that'd be more difficult to machine.

There isn't enough clearance for the T-nuts and screws between the part and the barrel. If we were to do M-Lok, the rail would be significantly higher than the rail on the receiver, which obviously isn't ideal. We chamfer and edge break the rail nicely so it's not uncomfortable to grip.

That's much more difficult to make. It requires getting custom extrusion made and a more complicated machining setup.
