Anyone know where you can pick up a M-LOK handguard for these? I bought the v4 with the keymod off a friend that never used it thinking it would be an easy fix with the company. After talking to their customer service, apparently they don't just sell the handguards and the MFR's handguards do not look as if they will fit. Any ideas on where to pick up one of these up?
 
There's no aftermarket for DD5 rails because of the proprietary nature of the upper receiver and if Daniel Defense won't sell just the rail it seems there's no resolution there. The way I see it there are three options.

a) Try to find a machine shop that will make a custom MLOK rail for the DD5. However, this could be cost prohibitive and end up costing as much as a few DD5 rifles.

b) Live with Keymod. It's not all that bad.

c) Buy a DD5 MLOK rail on Gunbroker and get the free DD5 that comes with it.
