What is the current "best" tubular handguard?
I'm putting together a BCM lightweight middy and want to run a 12" tube free float with a Surefire X300 at 12 o'clock. I would also like to run a hand stop and also have QD sling swivels on either side close to the receiver, but other than that I don't have any needs for rail space.
For tube handguards, I'm seeing the troy rails are popular as are the Midwest Industries. My concerns are reports of the Troy rails shifting, and the Midwest rails being out of spec. (I have experienced this personally and wrote them off pretty much) What else should I be looking at? I just want something that is quality, and is light that won't shift around and stuff actually fits the rail portion. (anyone who has run a X300 on a MI rail knows what I'm talking about) Price doesn't matter much.
Tubular is the way to go.
My 2 are both Apex Machine... best feel best grip, all the attachment points you could want and built in QD sling points.
