Is Troy the only game in town for LR308?

[Skg_Mre_Lght]

I want to replace my heavy/useless (as far as mounting options go) DPMS FF handguard with a system I can mount a sling adapter, bipod, and maybe NV on in the future.  This is going on a Classic 20, with a low profile gas block.

 

The Troy is tempting, because they come from the factory in FDE (not a show stopper since I can cerakote the handguard).

 

I like the SS Series from Midwest Industries (plus the price), and have seen them mounted on DPMS rifles, but they are only listed for Armalite on their website.

 

 

I do not want a FF Rail (quad rail), but for the right price, especially in FDE, I could be swayed.

 

I would like to stay under $250.

 

What am I missing here?  Are there any boutique manufacturers I have not heard of?

Centurion is making a really nice set in the cmr series. Not sure what street price is on them but I love how they look.

Midwest Industries has specific DPMS products now. I have their 2 piece carbine length handguard on my Oracle and it fits like a glove, but they also make 2 different free floats specifically for DPMS.
