Where have all the hand guards gone?

[Grayrock]

I needed a cheap hand guard/ fore-end for an AR project I'm starting. I have purchased them in the past off eebay and amazin, but now they are no where to be found. What gives? Are they now prohibited items on these sites? In lieu of those places any suggestions where to find similar items?

Oops- I should have posted this in Longarms, not handguns.

Amazon and eBay have been on an anti gun banning spree for the past few years. More and more gun items are taken off the sight every time I look. I will look on both for firearm stuff but usually have little hope of actually finding what I am looking for. MidwayUSA, Brownells, BotachTactical etc are the normal places I look for accessories.

Check out justrails.com. I played guinea pig and ordered an almost identical one to your picture in 15" length. It was $49 dollars with free shipping and arrived in four days. I compared it with one my grandson has on his AR and they appear to be identical althought his was quite a bit more expensive from another source.

Since I last posted prices have seemed to take a dramatic jump

I bought one recently from justrails.com. I was thoroughly impressed. It’s chinese import, but it is well made and I could find zero fault with it. Cheap too.

If you want a non-free float hand guard, I have a carbine length quad rail that I could let go of.

Appreciate the offer, but I am trying to replace a quad rail with a slimmer lighter piece.

I am trying to replace a quad rail with a slimmer lighter piece.

I replaced quad rail handguards with Keymod/MLok super slim handguards and happy with lighter, smaller profile.

My recent AR builds have been with 18" .223 Wylde kits (with BCA barrels that are certified to 1 MOA) that come with 15" MLok super slim handguards by Zaviar shown second from top in the picture (Top is 18" PSA .223 Wylde upper with bottom two 16" PSA 9mm uppers with shorter handguards) - https://www.22mods4all.com/ar-15-223-5-56/builder-kit/

I have the 10" model of this, very sturdy and secure hand guard -- https://www.opticsplanet.com/tacfir...handguard.html?_iv_code=29U-HZ-TAC201-HG20-10
