if you buy the right parts, you can put any handguard you want on it

Well, pretty much all of them. If your rifle has the cut-off sight base or a picatinny gas block, you'll need a low profile gas block to work with any FF rail that is longer than the carbine handguards. If you use a carbine length FF, it'll just butt right up to your gas block.
Some clamp to your existing barrel nut, others have their own proprietary nut.
I personally like the UTG pro handguards. They're US made, light weight, tough and don't break the bank. ($85-$120).
9" mid length on my Armalite middy (about 0.050" gap to FSB):
13" rifle length on my BCM 12.5":

I googled your rifle. Looks like it has a railed gas block, with a handguard cap. Any drop-in carbine length handguard (railed or not) will fit it. For free float hand guards, you'll need to look at carbine length options, as the railed gas blocks are too big to fit under a FF handguard.

you can put any you want on. I have the sportical(oracle without forward assist and dust cover) and I have a rifle length badger ordnance free float on it. I had to get a BO low profile gas block to go with it as the standard wouldn't fit with it.

Yes, though FF rails can be pretty darn light. The 7" UTG pro weighs only 9.9 ounces, and that includes the barrel nut, so your net weight gain over the stock barrel nut/delta ring and plastic hand guards will be about 3 ounces.
I don't know what other makers 7" FF rails weigh, but quality ones are probably very close to that.
