I am trying to put together a more accurate battle rifle closer to DM type use concept. So far I’ve got the aero precision M5 upper and lower receiver, lower is mostly together and I plan on going to “heavybuffers” guy for dialing in my buffer weights. I have a faxon 18” rifle length gas, fluted heavy 416r nitrided “match” barrel, this is my first ar10/lr308 build and am quickly noticing pretty much all the handguards for the platform are basically junk. Some might claim this one or that one is their personal preference, but zero data backing. Most don’t even have anti rotation tabs or use a bunch of tiny screws and fasten to the barrel nut which to me seems retarded. I was hoping to run geissle or Daniel defense but it’s a no go for the ar10/lr308 community. They don’t make them anymore. I’m starting to think I should have just bought something expensive like the hk or pof or even LWRCI for 308 battle rifle goodness. Please any help or guidance would
Be very helpful. I spent 8 years active all over, did the Iraq thing at its peak and private contracting. I’m retired and unfortunately have to purchase my own weapons now and struggling to put a decent kit together. Money is kinda tight but I’d rather eat ramen for 2 weeks then get garbage. Was seriously considering the faxon slimline rails or Midwest industries combat rail, but both look kinda weak.
