What's the best slim and lightweight but long AR handguard for the price? I want to make my handguard go to nearly the end of my 16" barrel.

Preferably not niggered up with rails please. I'm fine with some rails as long as that's not the only thing I'm touching. Pic related.

Trying to stay around $100, no more than $150 (that's for the handguard only, not the whole build)

Do you plan to put irons on the gun? If not, Aero Precision 15" Quantum M-LOK.
>>
>>34475762
Yeah, I need iron sights. I really like the aesthetics of the M16 style front sights (to accompany my charging handle) but I need to keep the barrel free floating. Got anything that looks similar?
>>
>>34475778
You mean like this?

>>
>>34475949
Yeah, those front sights are good, but I've never been a fan of that style of handguard.

It's fine, I'll just get the carry handle rear and some other aftermarket front sights. Won't look too bad.
>>
>>34475448
Get it in M-LOK then, not KeyMod.

KeyMod a shit anyhow.

The Lancer Systems LCH5 reduced weight carbon fiber handguards are a good fit for this type of build if you have around $260 to spend. The 12.5" and 14.6" handguards are nice for a 16" barrel.

>>34475778
You can put a free float tube in M16 handguards

Just in case this might be useful to someone:

if you haven't heard, somebody made an ar15 parts data base that can sort everything by weight- the data has a column for MANUFACTURER claim(s) and another column for data collected by individuals, marked "U".

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I6Qb6kAJjChEJ56qhznv2291c5UHRDyNXuSXGObumqM/edit?pageId=101111123797776514075#gid=0

as for the handguard: maybe this? It's exactly $150 w/o shipping. But it's a 15" rail.

O2 meme for maximum light short of one of those braided CFRP handguards?
>>
>>34477363
fwiw they claim it's <10oz including hardware, which is lighter than everything i've seen so far, but the look definitely isn't for everyone.

like the one i have on my 300blk SBR though

>>34476152
Unless you get it bead blasted, then it looks great.

>>34475650
Get on eBay and search for a 15" handguard, nigga

I have a DPMS upper and lower. Lowers are gonna be lowers, but I've heard bad things about DPMS in general so I'm assuming the upper is what needs to go. I also hear PSA is incredible, and you really can't beat this price. So what if the keymods look like penises
