    I like mine to come up right behind the muzzle brake. To me, looks better, but if youve ever grabbed a smokin hot barrel by accident, you dont want to do it again.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    16in middy with 15in vtac mlok.
    The second pic is my airsoft liscnced copy of the Griffin Armament m4sd2 on my Griffin Armament muzzle brake.
    Third is my airsoft gbbr, it's a 12.5 with a 10.75(?) Liscnced urx 3.1

    I was curious if it would fit and I like the look, I think I want to get a 30sd now.

    I prefer a free float that gets as close to the muzzle device as I can while still being able to mount my cans. I also don't own any non NFA AR's anymore, my last pinned pre stamp 14.5 had a 13 inch handguard.

    Gone are the days where MarkM used to let people know they were gay if they couldn't get it done with plastic handguards.....

    Hanes, Commando, Fruit of the Loom, Calvin Klein or Perry Ellis. Take your pick because it's many times personal preference or needs.

    IG listed all those, and I’m over hear a Under Armour guy, only goes to show that there is no right answer.

    I have a 16" barrel and have a 15" hand guard as the barrel is free-floated and the 15" hand guard gave me a longer sight radius for my iron sights. I only use the front end of the rail for attachments.
