eseaton 2 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I plan on a 8 or 10" SBS (waiting on Form 1) and would like experiences and suggestions on best options for front handguard and sights. I expect the gas port to be moved back so that would necessitate a shorter handguard, correct? I would like the option of an underside rail on the handguard at least. Pics would help me to visualize.

BobAsh 582 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I dig the HK sights because they look cool. Most guys go for the short handguard on an 8" gun, but personally I like the longer one. You could fill the space with a long gas plug like the Chaos. For a 10" you're gonna have to get creative, there's really nothing made for it exactly. Long: Short: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm pretty sure the bottom is flat and that people have put rails on them. You can mount rails to all 3 sides; in fact we sell a kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not to speak for him, but I think Jeaux might disagree . . . You know, his Big 10" w/the factory HG look's sweet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah, that was Joe's idea from the start: shortest barrel with the factory handguard. It came out pretty cool all right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joelrod47 373 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Tony did a great deal of fitting to accomplish the handguard on my shorty......... !!..... and not just to the handguard ! I think it's still the only one he's ever done just like this.............. The 8-inchers are as bad-ass as you'll ever see, but I love my 10-incher !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Jeaux is a bad shot so he needs to be closer to the target. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 but I love my 10-incher !! I am sure the chicks dig it as well......... It just had to be said........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joelrod47 373 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Jeaux is a bad shot so he needs to be closer to the target. Heh, heh, heh.............Yep, but having that extra 2 inches has always been a big help.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
