Does anyone know of a quad rail handguard that is made for DPMS high pattern uppers? Or even a mk 4 geisselle style handguard with rails the front couple inches and mlok the rest of the way would be fine. Want at least 12" prefer 13-15. I can't find anything in my search but figured you guys might know.

There are two versions of the DPMS “high” uppers.
There’s high, and really high.
I was unable to find a handguard that would match the really high upper.
In the end, I replaced the upper with a standard upper just I could replace the hand guard.

It's an Aero M5 so pretty sure it's just a regular high
Try Midwest industries. They like quad rails
...check out SLR Rifleworks, they make both "high" and "low" DPMS pattern HG's. The Aero M5 uppers takes a "HIGH", attached is my M5 with the SLR HG showing the fit. They have multiple models that have the short rails up front, scroll thru the offerings to find what you prefer. You will want the ones that are labeled "308H" designating its the HIGH model for DPMS pattern. NOTE: They also offer Armalite AR10 pattern HG's, make sure you select the "DPMS/SR25" option in the pull-down menu. Aero M5's are DPMS/SR25 pattern.

I'm slowly building my ar but I was only able to find a manufacturer named Samson.
I'm also building off a "High profile" dpms platform
Not a fan of the s shaped vents but it's the only quad rail out there

Plenty of handguards isn't the case Ghost rider. Few options and they do have seni quad rails but not like what I think the original thread intended asking.
With that said daniel defense used to make .308 quad rail handguards that extended the entire span.
Samson offers that and is American made. I would know nothing about about the quality though.
The last option for anyone that wants a true quad rail handguard would be to just buy MLOK quad rail adapters but irt wouldn't look uniform unless there's handguard covers.
These guys offer that kind of option

accuracysolutions.com absolutely plenty, you just have to look to less brand name. It's why I said pick your budget first and spend the most coin on the most important parts, internals, barrel, trigger etc..Plenty of handguards isn't the case Ghost rider.

I do like your suggestion though or he could go with the hybrid guards as well
I dunno, maybe my Google skills are lacking because I've been looking too and everyone is either discontinued, out of stock, or actually "low" rails. If you could give us some hints to where "absolutely plenty" are located, it would be super helpful.
.....patience will be your friend, get on the e-mail alert list of every site you found something you like and check for your alerts at night when sites update their inventory...
...better to get what you want than just something to "scratch that itch"....
I ordered a 13.2” STAR-10 from Samson back in November and I’m still waiting on it… I’ve had better luck just scanning all the classified ads for used stuff. It’s kind of fun because sometimes you’ll come across some absolute gems. But, be ready to fork out the cash though because people know their value now that everything is discontinued/out of stock. Saw a DD Lite rail go for $650 a while back
