I've decided to build another 308 after being away from them for a while. I'd like to keep the weight down as much as possible, so I selected a 16" barrel, and Aero Precision receivers. I've narrowed my choices for handguard down to the following: 15" Troy carbon fiber handguard, or 13.7" SLR ION. My concern with either choice is durability, and fitment. Regarding Troy's carbon fiber handguard, how well made is it? How straight and true is the upper rail? Does it fit to the upper receiver precisely, or is it poorly made and sloppy fitting? In regards to the SLR, my only concern is the way they use a plastic spacer to align the rail to the upper, and the thin minimalist construction. Anybody who has used either, please feel free to chime in with your feedback. Thanks!
