Handguard M Look for Bushmaster Carbon 15 type 21

[Carbon15Love]

Could I install an AR 15 M Look handguard on a Carbon 15 pistol?

There is a difference?

I attach the photo of my carbon and a photo of an example
of hanguard that I speak about.

Yes.
All you have to do is replace the front sight, gas block, gas tube, and barrel nut. Then you can add a ten ounce handguard to the front of one of the lightest ARs ever made.
At least make it a Battle Arms carbon fiber.

I wonder if it’s short enough though. Muzzle blast inside a handguard is bad mojo. Aluminum ones can be cut with a mitre saw, like my Aero before I got a suppressor.

Just chopped it flush at the KVP LC.
I should replace it now that the hot bit sticks out farther.


I personally would not molest this particular AR.
A forearmed rifle can be had for not much more than a good looking and properly sized carbon handguard for this, no longer made, rifle.
(Even though there are plenty of Bushmaster scam sites…)

As well, I wouldn’t want to increase any leverage forces on the receivers. These are not the laid-up and woven carbon fiber of a handguard or super car hood. They are an amalgam of chopped carbon and resin. Crunchy plastic, to describe it coarsely.
I don’t know that it’s a collectible yet, but vintage definitely.

Neat set!
