I am pondering the question of installing a free float handguard on one of my carbines. It's use is competition, training and general purpose. Currently it is composed as follows: Centurion HF SOCOM profile barrel, Colt upper receiver with Magpul SL handguard. The front sight is a traditional A frame. Currently nothing is bolted to the handguard save for a sling loop. Other than bolting things onto the handguard my understanding is that a free float can render better accuracy. So the question is will the accuracy gained be worth the cost [$200+] of the handguard?
Thanks
