Thinner Handguards

[Mr. Finicky Timbers]

Where might one be able to find the thinner more streamlined XM177 style handguards for the AR15? I'm just not digging the look of the oval M4 style buggers.

Aren't the XM177 handguards identical to the standard M4 pattern handguards?

The XM177's just have a shorter barrel (10" - 12" or something) and a big ugly flash hider.

M4 handguards are "usually" double heat shielded and fatter/more oval. The XM177/CAR-15 handguards are slimmer. There were a few sets on the EE not long ago. Bushmasters come with the skinny ones...

 

[Mr. Finicky Timbers]

What about Armalite rifles? They look to be the skinnier type, and I think Wolverine might have some.

I would imagine Wolverine would have buckets of them with most most going to a rail of some kind, and yes they are the skinny ones.
