AR10 .936” Bull Barrel handguard clearance

[Pickle Rick]

I have a AR10 bull barrel with superlative arms .936” GB. Most handguards are 1.5” ID which leaves next to no clearance. It’s a 22” barrel, so a 12.5” handguard would look silly (unless it’s a quad rail). Anyone have any extra wide suggestions?

For high profile, the Aero M5 Enhanced, with the optional BAR barrel nut for regular threaded uppers, will get you 1.72" ID.

The JP MK III hand guards are 1.75” ID

Smoke Composite’s have a very generous ID.

I have a 22” .936 bull barrel AR15 and went with the JP hand guard with a JP adjustable Gas Block. No interference issues at all.

You said AR10... do you mean a Armalite ?

I ask because MidwayUSA has had the Armalite barrel threads Lancer Carbon Fiber on Clearance for cheap, various lengths.. inside width of 1.89"

also available in a 16.6" length, black or FDE. They're "DPMS-high", so, depending on what upper receiver you're using, if it's DPMS-high, DPMS-low, or "other", what it identifies as.

I had one on a SLR set and the handguard had plenty of clearance.
