I have had my AR-10T for some time. Love the rifle and need to upgrade the handguards to incorporate rails for extra stuff.

Does anyone have a recommendation for free floating handguard with railes, that won't cost my next paycheck???

Thank you,
Patrick :usa:

How big is the paycheck? :laugh:

Midwest Industries makes good stuff.
Have you thought of adding rails to the handguard you have? :usa:

What are your needs?
Do you want GOOD or CHEAP?
Do you really need rails?
What do you plan of placing on the rails?

BUDGET?

My paycheck pays the bills and the wife's extra's...Lol.

Yes, I need the rails to mount backup sights, tac light, etc.

The couple I have seen run over $250 plus, seem a bit much for milled metal.

Maybe I am wrong.

You will need a standard Armalite barrel nut (The non free float one)

This is what I have on my AR10-TU Magnum 300 RSAUM

Get a chunk of aluminum and start carving one out for yourself, you will quickly see why machined parts are not $20. Are you going to have the ability to install it yourself?

This Midwest Industries tube would be a good option.

Personally, I REALLY like Larue rails.

I've used the Midwest Industries 4 rail drop,-in for my bipod and backup sights and I think its great but my next 2 upgrades will be to find the full floating guard against I like and a set of 35mm scope rings cause what I've got are too tall.

I keep thinking something different than the stock round forearm would be nice, I look at the options and the pricing, but, with a non-removable carry handle, it seems that the round stock guards is the best option.
I did get a couple of them add on short rails, but, the mounting holes are off so I will try and trade them at a gun show or something.
I thought they would be handy, mounted to the underside, for attaching a flashing light. :busted: :rotfl:

After doing some searching. I decided on Midwest Industry's handguard. Ordered it along with the low profile gas block. As soon as the armorer put it on, along with a threaded muzzle break, I will post some pictures. I didn't want to spend that much but what the heck, it is just money. :twocents:

That will be a very nice addition to Your AR10.
I had the muzzle on Mine AR10 threaded, a muzzle brake installed, it turned out perfect.
The brake I had has a hole in it for a set-screw, I installed the set-screw but I also dropped in a piece of 14 gauge wire into the hole before tightening the set-screw, that should preserve the threads from the set-screws sharpness.
