12" or 11" Handguard for a 12.5" Upper?

dissapator??

So you will have a FSB too? I am confused. How will all that fit?

Without a bolt carrier group or charging handle. Add at least another $150.
 
Re: 12" or 11" Handguard for a 12.5" Upper?

alright after some more searching, im going to put my own 12.5" together or purchase a BCM Kino configuration and remove the FSB.

then im going to use the troy TRX extreme battlerail 15". the reason for the overlap is that i think it will look best if you dont see the 1" of barrel and then a suppressor. ill only be shooting this thing with a liberty torch attached.

what do you guys think about that?
 
Re: 12" or 11" Handguard for a 12.5" Upper?

If you want the rail to overlap your suppressor with a diameter of 1.5 inches, you will need a rail with a larger diameter like a PRI carbon fiber for-end, a Daniel Defense MFR, or the Samson Evolution. The Troy is not wide enough.

Check out Seekins Precisions new monolithic style suppressor rail. You can get their new upper or with his kit you can add it to regular style uppers also. It might be hard to find on his site or not on there yet it's brand new.

ill check out seekins, i haven't ran across those before.

you guys are correct on the troys, i just got off the phone w/ them and they are all 1.37" ID. The samson is the current front runner.
 
Re: 12" or 11" Handguard for a 12.5" Upper?

i just checked out the seekins, they do look nice, but they are only 14". I was looking for a 15" one.

and to everyone who is helping me through this sbr upper world, I really appreciate it.
