wetncold Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 So, I wanted to put a tube type handguard on my SRC. Since this stands for Sight Ready CARBINE, I ordered a carbine length tube. Only problem is it is 2-3 inches short. So I have been perusing mid length handguards. There are a thousand for AR-15, and only carbon fiber for 308. And they are higher than giraffe ears. I am looking for a round, knurled 9" handguard, non vented and not rubber covered. Are they even made? Rifle and carbine I can find. But the mid length is hiding from me. DPMS pattern is what I need. Oh, and I have a very good carbine length one if anyone is interested.
blue109 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I did a quick search...and you are right! not much out there. apex is vented but not too bad. http://www.apexhandguard.com/2550-308-dpms-9-18-mid-length-8-2-oz-with-hardware-apex-gatorgrip-handguard/ are you against using a low pro gas block and a rifle length tube? would really open up your options.
wetncold Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Posted April 20, 2015 My front sight is on the gas block. I would like to keep it there.
Robocop1051 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Apex (I have two and highly recommend them) makes a mid length and an ext mid length (it wraps around the FSGB). Buy with confidence. Those bastards are NICE
wetncold Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Posted April 20, 2015 Out of my price range. I'm a po man now.
PSAPA10 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Not to highjack this topic here, but while we are on the topic of compatible handguards, Palmetto State is lately offering more of their .308 uppers without handguards. http://tinyurl.com/mmhrvym I am looking at their rifle length 20" upper without handguards and they just started offering their 18" Mid upper without handguards as well. So any further sources and options for 16" carbine/mid, 18" mid, and 20" rifle length guards is appreciated. Classic round or inexpensive polymer would nice but I am open to suggestions as long as they fit Palmetto PA10.
unforgiven Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 I think the PA10 is a DPMS style so this, http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1230 might work.Got it on a 18" 5.56 and was stunned by the light weight.It's keymod.
