First off hello everyone. Working on a LE6920 build, just my own personal preference I don't want to alter the factory gas block, its a reliable system as it is. Anyone have any recommendations for a good carbine 7in Mlok hand guard?

Welcome to the forum! Are you talking free float or not?

1+. Are you looking to simply swap out the mil spec hand guard with a direct replacement or are you looking to pull the barrel and install a free float system? Big difference in the recommendations.

Thanks for the responses. Seems like free float is the way most ppl are moving right now, any durability issues with those if your using them roughly while training?

For direct replacement, I have this on my AR because I have the A2 post.

I have been eyeing these though as they fit around the A2. It's a key mod but I'm sure the m lock is available somewhere.

Just remember, if it touches the barrel or anything attached to the barrel it's not free float. Free float should only attach and touch the barrel nut for better accuracy.

Indeed, they make several different types of drop in handguards that are MLOK.
