Put a new stock on my AR, what kind of handgaurd should I put on it? (I want to keep the A2 front sight)

Midwest industries 2 piece drop in, in M-Lok or whatever flavor you like

hold that, does the Ruger have a proprietary handguard?
If so, leave it as is, and save up for a nice new upper, unless the lower is proprietary too

>hold that, does the Ruger have a proprietary handguard?
has a proprietary handguard, barrel nut, delta ring, and FSB. Ruger uppers are fugged
>>35141519
you ever think about just ditching your front sight post, getting a free float handguard, and just getting a flip front sight? saves on weight and honestly looks better depending on the type you get. i think a front sight post only looks good on rifle lengths. also what grip do you have?

Wow. Fucking glad I got a Smith instead. Ruger QC seems nice and all, but do they have to make EVERYTHING proprietary?

>Fucking glad I got a Smith instead.
This is what /arg/ recommends. Despite the tripfaggotry, they're not wrong to steer people away from the Ruger because nobody leaves their AR stock forever

>"The most unique feature of the AR-556 is a proprietary barrel nut with a threaded delta ring for simple handguard removal. Ruger’s patent-pending barrel nut design accepts standard handguards and uses a standard-size barrel nut wrench. It’s also interchangeable with Mil-Spec barrel nuts if so desired."
Tripfags are still shitters, and everyone in this thread is fucking retarded
You picked purple for a reason op. Go full purple or be a closeted faggot.

Get a VISM Extened mlok carbine hand guard and tell me if they're any good pls.
I put a Magpul MOE SL on my Ruger AR556. Ignore the talk about the proprietary delta ring. It fits perfectly.

>purple
You are a fucking loser
>>35144251
why can't gun people into aesthetics? I'm astounded at how bad each of your rifles look. they all look like ass. I'm floored.

t. King of safe queens
>>35142225
COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER PARTS. The delta ring system is actually nice. The FSB is worse, but whatever.
>>35145803
Nigga post your shit then. Show me what YOU consider "aesthetic"....
(although to be fair my AR10 is ugly as sin, and I need to get a better gasblock for my purple 3gun rifle.)
>>35145819
The only real safe queens in that pic are my AR10 and the purple AR. I use the purple one in 3gun competitions every now and then. But the 3 others are used for hog removal and general bullshitery.

Get a regular RAS type like ncstar makes I have one tons of options.
Magpul MLOK drop in handguard. $35. I put it on without any tools in 5 minutes. Then get one of their MLOK A/VFGs, $26-35 for the bottom and MLOK cantilevered pic rail, $7 for your choice of Steamlight weapon lights for 2-4x more than everything mentioned before hand. You're welcome
