I'm trying to find a short (about 4 1/2") handguard for my M-16 9mm upper. Is there an original looking handguard available in that size?
I've seen the short pistol free float tubes, but would like to keep this upper looking like a stubby carbine.
The shortest I've found on line is the CAR length, about 6 3/4".
Thanks

Thanks, I took a look. $100 plus they have "slight cracks and slivers of material missing". I'll have to think about that.
Plus I was thinking of adding a short rail to fit a forward pistol grip. Not sure if they'd be a good candidate for that if they're already compromised.
I was hoping for some aftermarket thing that I wouldn't mind drilling holes in.

I bought a repro handguard from Garrison Manufacturing. It seems a bit on the 'large' side. It fits into the delta ring, but not very far. Also, the handguard cap that I have is for a different size barrel. I need one for a lightweight (.625") barrel. Any idea where I might find one of those?
Thanks
