Favorite DPMS High Handguard?

[Winny94]

Looking for a handguard for a 24" 6CM. I need a very solid mount and easy to install barrel nut. What are some recommendations? just need a means to attach a sling and bipod

This is what I use and it locks up nice and tight with no discernible flex when loading the bipod, It's not the latest and greatest when it comes to accessory mounting but they do have good options for rails and sling QD's.

Troy usually has a couple sales a year that they offer something like 25% off if your not in a hurry.

JP or SLR...

Favorite...? KAC URX 3.1, but... you're gonna have to put in some extra work and/or $$ to get it to work on a DPMS pattern upper.

+1 for SLR, a lot of options to get the exact set up you want. Super easy to install barrel nut with no need to “time” it off the gas tube. 35 lb/ft and your done. I like their Solo Ultra Lite series.

I’m also a fan of SLR. Super intuitive installation, barrel nut that you could install with a crescent wrench, light, and plenty of options.

Midwest Industries is decent, light, and comes with the wrench head to attach to a 1/2 drive torque wrench.

MI 308SS 15 DHK for the 15 inch Keymod version.

I'l say the SLR Helix series or Odin Works O2 Lite. They are similar in that that don't have a full top rail just rail at each end. Both are lightweight and the O2 can be had in 17.5" for under 8oz without barrel nut.

Another vote for SLR. I've used Rainier/Fortis and JP as well on AR-10 builds, but prefer the SLR. It seems to have the least flex and they offer several options to meet your preferences.

Remember if you have the old high rise style dpms upper receiver, the new hand guards on the market might not align flush with the top of the receiver. Call dpms and see if your rifle is high rise. If yes, I would recommend any tubular handguard, like the JP MK Signature series.

I have an 18" XLR built by SMF tactical that I really like. He makes them from 12" to 24" high or low cut, armalite or DPMS thread. The barrel nut is the best I've used.
