Am I Crazy Or Does Nobody Make A Standard CAR Length Handguard Anymore...?

[SteyrAUG]

Have an older A2 Armalite that I want to replace the magpul handguard with a simple CAR length guard in GREEN but seems Armalite, RRA and any other reputable manufacturer no longer offers such things.

I don't want to buy Doublestar, Del-ton, FAB or any other crap grade stuff.

Anyone know where they can be had?

IMI.

I got a set (in original black) from Primary Arms for $14. These are the original diameter, not the fat two heat shield M4s.

Brownells has the black "skinny" style

Are you looking for just standard plastic hand guards that come with every factory basic Colt upper?

EDITED TO ADD: Fat double heat shield style.

No looking for the older CAR style and in GREEN. Looks like IMI only makes the M4 style in OD anymore.

Try damage industries. I dont see them on their site anymore. I have a couple but they might not match the Armalite green. Let me know if you are interested in one.

Get the black and have your local Gunkoter slap #2412 Napa Green onto 'em - that's the one we used creating my gal's C8A3, and the Gunkote people were even good enough to put an expedite on a no-bake companion formula for the buttpads.

They have a somewhat checkered rep and flat suck at communications though. Might have luck, but something to be aware of. I called Gunkote after RR never replied to my email when I was planning C.'s C8.
