I'm building a 6mm ARC AR15 primarily for hunting (coyote gun). I'm going with an 18" barrel, so I'd like a longer handguard. 17" is preferred. Currently, my top two are:
1. Geissele 16.5" MK18 Super Mod RailI (w/integrated Arca Swiss) Comes in at 18.4oz. (Don't mind the extra weight with the Arca)
2. BCM Alpha 17" (No integrated Arca) Weighs 9.9oz.
I haven't dabbled in the AR world after I built my last two ARs almost a decade now, and a lot has changed! Anyone know if there are any negatives to these? Anything else I should be considering? I want to keep it light, but need it to be durable too.
