Thinnest round handguard for ar15?

[g3ninfinite]

Looking at purchasing a Clark Custom Carbon Fiber handguard. Is this about as thin as Im going to get As far as width of the handguard?

 

[LRRPF52]

No. The Midwest Industries Gen II SS is one of the thinnest I have seen so far, but does have a dedicated 12 o'clock rail, and comes with 3 rail sections. It is also the lightest aluminum tube I have used-very nice unit.

You really have to make sure you have a low profile gas block if installing a carbine or MLGS under a longer tube, that is how narrow it is.

Sorry should have been specific. No rails needed

Here's another you might want to look at PARALLAX TACTICAL LLC ? Parallax Tactical Gen2 15" Free Float Super Slim Rail (FFSSR)

Sorry guys. Needs to be round and Rail Free

Just go with a JP. 2 inch outside diameter. JP Rifles

 

[g3ninfinite]

its gotta be 7 or 9 inches. Also The entire point is weight savings. The JP is not heavy but definitely not among the lightest.

If you only need 7 inches I could wrap my dick around it and you can give that a try. Ha

For a full slick rail, the Clark is probably going to be the lightest. I looked at them for a lightweight build I was doing for my girlfriend, but couldn't get past the fact you have to glue your forearm on.

Another option you might want to look at is the Seekins MCSR; they're crazy light as well for still being aluminum and having a top rail. That's what I went with and I was stunned how light a 12" rail could really be (8.6oz, 6.3oz for a 9"), and with none of the craziness with glue and strap wrenches. MCSR V2 Mod Quad Rail

Go look at White Oak. Some of the rail guns have thin fiber free floats.

The AP Industries carbon fiber handguards are probably the lightest on the market right now. Their 7" free-float carbine handguard is 3.8 oz.

I have one of the rifle-length one, and it's 5.4 oz.

I have a diamond head VRS-T and really like it. you have to add the rails to it if you want them. Very comfortable finger grooves.

Lancer makes a carbon tube.

Sorry guys. Needs to be round and Rail Free

You could make one in 15 minutes with $30 worth of carbon fiber, that will look factory made, then you can buy ammo with the leftover money.
