So.......as some of you guys know, I've been waiting on my Form 1 for my 300 BLK SBR build. I've been slowly gathering parts as I wait on the feds (Sent Form 1 to feds in October). I originally wanted to get one of those AAC uppers with the 9" barrel. I liked the look and design of the Knights rail that AAC was using, and I figured....Ehhh....no hurry. Then.....the jerk-off in CT showed up (no...not Drew) at Newtown. And the rest is history.......we all know what happened to parts and ammo since then. We all watched as all the parts and ammo rode off into the sunset.......leaving many of us behind to fend for ourselves. Talk about a day late and a dollar short.........as usual.
Anyway.....I digress. So I, like many of us on this board, have been slowly and patiently buying parts as they emerge (at a decent price). A lower here....an upper there....the occasional LPK (or 3). And mags.....talk about something that took on the resemblance of refrigerant (Freon to you guys not in the HVAC/Mechanical know).......those things simply evaporated. But.....they would occassionally pop up at a (once again) fair price. As long as you (all of us) were patient.
Yeah....yeah......I know I'm being kinda long-winded, but I'm gettin to it! It's my story after all! <laughs>
So I've got the DD M4 lower (w/DD LPK, Bad-Ass Levers, Raptor CH and Magpul CTR)...the Aero Precision upper...an SI Defense BCG.....and a AAC brakeout comp waiting for a barrel. The barrel........I just ordered that last week from Midway. A Noveske 10" stainless that I stumbled across. That thing should be here Monday or Tuesday I think. And so, that leads me up to the opinion that I'm interested on gettin outta you jokers.
I know, I know........some of you are saying that it's a about damn time!
So, the question of handguards. Now keep in mind, you animals, that I gotta be able to get to the QD release on the can. So it can't be buried inside of the handguard. Though that would look very cool. So I've been poking around and I've got it down to a couple of ideas. Though I always keep an open mind.......just in case one of you degenerates happens to come up with a great find (it's been known to happen).
So I'm thinking one of these:
http://www.rogtac.com/upper-parts/rails-handguards/noveske-nsr-rail-9-fde.html
or one of these:
http://pkfirearms.com/Geissele_Handguards/266/c
or maybe one of these:
http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_4_48&products_id=90
And as usual....you'll notice that, for some reason, the things that I pick out always end up being F-ing expensive (not on the YHM as much). Dammit.....why can't I like CMMG? <laughs>
****NOTE : No offense to any of my brethren that currently use/own/are-a-fan-of aforementioned manufacture.
So.......lemme here any opinions or ideas that any of you yahoo's may have.
