I have a 22" Proof barrel with the +2 gas system. Currently have an SLR Rifleworks handguard that is lightweight but also small outer diameter, I am having trouble mounting anything closer to the receiver as the screws are too long. It has been a couple years since I was researching what is out there and if there is anything long and Arca compatible that would be a double bonus. Currently looking at something from Odin Works, this would be on a 2a Armament upper/lower set.
 
This is a 22” +2 gas 6.5 Creedmoor with 17.25” JP Rapid Configuration. I have three of these on large frame ARs and one on a 22” 6.5 Grendel.

Here’s the 22” Grendel. I chose the JP Rapid Configuration again because JPs adjustable gas block is fairly large in diameter.

Another vote for the JP 17.25" hand guard. That's why I'm running on both of my 6.5 CM's with the +2 length gas. One bonus is I can run a full length ARCA rail for all the fun attachments these days.
 
I was going to Zev as well. But someone is selling their Zev 308 rail on here for that same reason. It would not clear a .875 gas block.
Wrong. I have a 260 on the ZEV with a .875 adjustable gas block from superlative Ams. Clears just fine.

That’s me selling the Zev. I had a clamp on superlative that did not clear. The new jp clamp on did not clear as well. I installed a slr sentry 8 set screw and was not comfortable with how close the flat spring screw was to the rail, I believe it would have rubbed during firing. I didn’t like the bleed off with my proof barrel. I could see where it was eroding into the cf.
