    I would look into a Daniel Defense Omega. Its a drop in two piece free-float handguard. I have a couple on some builds, they have a slim profile which I really like and will give you the extended continuous rail that you are looking for. Slightly pricey, but well worth the price, once on they are very solid.
    Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    If you really want to save money, get a 16" middy and use MOE hand guards and shoot the rifle until you can save up for the free float tube of your choice. As you're mechanically inclined, you'll be able to figure out how to attach the AFG.

    If you still need to stretch further, you can cut down the fsb and install a rifle length free float tube

    Not all of the uppers with pre installed forends come with the option for charging handle and bcg and finding a bcg (matching bcm) is difficult.

    +1

    The MOE guards are great and very easy to attach a light, vfg and sling attachment point... Put the savings towards ammo or an Aimpoint.

    I want free floated because I want to get as much accuracy out of this thing as possible. So I'd like to stick with the FF rails. I think I'll just see what i can get pre installed

    Don't fool yourself - you will most likely not ever notice the difference in accuracy.

    ETA - dont mean to be an asshole, but unless you are a seasoned bench rest shooter using match grade ammo and match barrel shooting routinely 100+ yd shots, its just not going to be worth the cash for anything but cool factor.

    Youd get much more noticeable accuracy gains from proper trigger and breathing control.
