What free floating handguards do you have on your AR-15?

[idbstyler]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a free floating handguard for my ar-15. I'm going to be running at 14.5" barrel and I would like to run a 12" handguard. I love the way it looks with a 14.5" Barrel. I love how the Daniel Defense AR15 Lite Handguard looks but I don't know how if I can justify paying over $300 for a handguard. Can anyone else recommend one similar to the 12" Daniel Defense Free Floating Lite Handguard?

I run a YHM Diamond Series forearm I like. If you want a cheap handguard, hogue makes passable ones. What style are you looking for?

[Don29palms]

I have a rifle length YHM signature series.

Sorry I wasn't very clear in my question. I went with a 14.5" barrel on my ar-15 and I like how the 12" handguards look on the 14.5" barrels. Just looking for suggestions on hardguards.

midwest industries has one for pretty cheap I think, but I went with the DD lite and I feel it was worth the money

Midwest Industries are good as well as YHM etc

The thing is, if you want the best you gotta pay - there really is nothing like the Daniel Defense rails when it comes to the narrow width, low weight, and general awesomeness. If you don't need a quad rail the Troy TRX with the single top rail is kind of cool. The YHM rails are a bit too large and round for some people's tastes, but they are the most affordable. I kind of like the look of the SWS rails too (used on Noveske Recce builds) but they are going to cost about the same as the DD lite rail.

I really like the free float tubes from JP/Viking tactical. They can be had in the sub 200 range.

Troy TRX Extreme 11" Battlerail, about $180 or so at Riflegear.
It's basically a FF tube with a full top rail (no gap at the receiver joint), but it includes two 2" and one 4" attachable rail sections that can be mounted to the sides/bottom.

Kinda nice to be able to mount a laser and tac light and still avoid the "cheese grater" handguard.... without having to buy rail covers and make the thing bigger than a can of Cambell's Chunky.

hahahah general awesomeness. Well I guess I'll just have to go with the DD Lite Rail so my gun can be awesome. I get what you mean though when you say you get what you pay for. From what I've heard is the DD rail systems are top quality though.
