Hand Guards

Looking at replacing the old-style hand guards on my Colt 6920 and don't want to break the bank! Looking at Stngr (Stinger) and Areo Precision Atlas, Any body know about these 2 companys?
Thanks

I used a BCM QRF on an OEM-1 and it's super nice. Didn't add any weight either.

Kinda thinking that smooth sides would be kinda nice, don't plan on hanging other then a light on the hand guard.

Is magpul too expensive?

The newer Aero ones would work fine. I have heard ok things about stinger as well, but would go another route personally

What length do you need?

Larue has new ones that are priced under $130 and very nice.

ALG also make a nice simple handguard in their V0 version

They use a Centurion Arms OEM rail on the Colt Troopers. Chris at Shark arms has those for $150 for the 13.5 inch which is an awesome price for a really good rail

As a drop in replacement I like the BCM PKMR handguards, although they are Keymod, which is kind of dead tech at this point. For someone like me who doesn’t hang too much stuff on the front of his guns though (pretty much just a light and a VFG), they work well, are pretty cheap, and I like their slim proportions. I had heard sometime ago that an Mlok version of the PKMRs will probably be released eventually however.
