    16inch / mid length gas / handguard pics wanted

    Can we get some pics up here pls ? I wanted to see some handguard system that shows low profile gasblock .

    with photobucket drama , makes searching real hard .

    if you have this exact setup , I appreciate it if you can post overall setup .

    thanks

    I'm a little hazy on what exactly you want to see...are you wanting to view different handguard lengths and how far they cover the barrel? Or how much room there is between the low-profile gas block and the handguard?

        Looks crappy.

          My LMT MRP has an exposed gas block solely to allow the larger piston blocks on piston systems to fit the same chassis. But I agree with Randall most look crappy

            Nobody but this guy

            Not exact but close enough. The one on the left has a 18" barrel rifle length gas, w/12" rail.

              I have a 16" with mid gas but Noveske pinned a front sight on there...no lo pro for me. I like the FSB though, its kinda traditional looking for an AR.

                    If you google "stealth upper handguard options" and select the images button, a comparison photo will show up. I used to have a 10" handguard on my AR and the gas block was exposed about an inch. I didn't like the way it looked and switched to a 12", in part to cover it up.

                      If you want change you have to put in your 2 cents, you can't just sit on the sidelines and whine.

                        I have an 18" barrel w a rifle length gas system whose gas block is partially exposed by a standard 12" rifle length hand guard. It's fine.

                        I also have a 16" barrel w a mid length gas system that is fully covered by 15" handguard. I did this as it all the rage, super slim super long HGs.
