HammerDown Posted August 11, 2021 Report Posted August 11, 2021 I've been scouring the web for railed handguard options. It looks like I am severely limited with the Armalite 18 TPI barrel nut. The only hand guards I have found currently being produced are Armalite and Sampson. I like the Midwest Industries handguard but, it's no longer on their website. Are there any other 15" M-LOK options out there?

Have you checked with them about any Armalite barrel nuts they have that might work with there M-lok rail? On the SS version the rail would fit either barrel nut.

It's a good looking rail for sure, I have one on an AR15. I'm hoping they can help me out.
98Z5V Posted August 12, 2021 Report Posted August 12, 2021 Check Diamondback FIrearms. There are more out there, I'll find them. https://diamondbackfirearms.com/shop/db10-15-carbon-series-m-lok-handguard-with-barrel-nut-2/ Search around this site and see what they have for rails - they offer both barrel nuts. https://www.totalwartactical.com/product/308-7-62-steel-barrel-nut-18tpi-ar10-or-16tpi-lr-308/

It looks like Diamondback has one in stock that will work with an Armalite upper receiver. I was so happy to score the Armalite upper back in the day but, now its struggle to get parts for it. The majority of aftermarket parts are for DPMS low profile receivers. This is my only large receiver platform AR. I was going to build another one but went with the 6mm ARC instead.
