LR 308 handguard options

[JohnDavid]

I  would like to change the stock two piece handguard to a an inexpensive free float. I was thinking of this one and the low profile gas block and was wondering what your thoughts are?

I see no reason that will not work.

Is this what you are looking at?

Make sure it is for 308.  A search of the part number comes up with Midway which lists it as an AR15 handguard.

Doc is right I should have checked the part number, not sure that is a 308 tube, says it in the link but not the description.

So i have called the DPMS store twice and I have to say that they do not seem to be very knwledgeable or helpful when it comes to these parts. I would like to put a hand guard on my LR that is like the hunter model but it seems as though the 308 versions are hard to find info on. Could someone point me in the right direction and show me a solid hand guard and the right gas block. The rifle comes with a picitany rail block that is lower than the other rail but I assume you still need o low profile block? Thanks
