JP rapid configuration HG?

[346ci]

I checked one of these handguards out today at a shoot, very nice and along the lines of what I'm looking for a upcoming build.

I went to JP site and didn't see much other than length. Anyone know the weight or pics of their bbl nut and how it attaches to the upper?

Thanks

Here is what everything looks like. This is the install manual.

As far as weight goes, I'm not sure. The 6M is the extended length at 15.5" and the 1M is the standard 12.5" rifle length.

I have the regular 15" handguard on my CTR02. It was being built when the new rapid configuration one came out. I called and they said it would save 4oz to switch to the new style. Weight wasn't an issue on this rifle, and I actually wanted to retain some weight forward on this one since it is my 3-Gun competition rifle.

4 ounces on a 15" handguard is pretty significant if you are looking to save weight.

I think this is a pretty cool handguard and I recently spec'd an upper from JP for one. Will be happy to post pics once I get it, but it is probably going to be a couple months until I get it.
