Which handguard would be rated the best? Looking for barrelnut that does not have to be timed with gastube, weight and needs to have upgrades like m-lock. THANKS
Handguard

Everyone has their favorites for personal reasons. Some maybe because it's the only one they've ever had. They did their homework and are happy with it. Others because they like particular features, or brand reputation, or it looks good. My point is be careful of advice with no justification.
Keylock is just as good as M-Lock (Magpul-Lock) in my opinion. I like the big manufacturer Magpul but am cynical about a company suggesting their proprietary design is better than an industry standard. They have some handguard manufacturers on board but I think it is just a clever marketing coup. If you like it, fine, but it will limit your choices.
Need more information here. Are you looking for form or function? What price range? Is your sling needing QD holes and where on the rail do you prefer to attach? Do you want minimalistic with Picatinny on top only or something like the SLR Solo with a quad section at the front and slimline behind it? Does it need to enclose a suppressor? How light; carbon fibre?

Magpul is a free license to use there design. So it's up to the manufacturer to decide what they want to use.12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel
Surge - Rugged Suppressor
Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.
Aim small, miss small!

Would not be surprised if Magpul incentivises manufacturers to use it.Last edited by Klem; 05-10-2015, 06:19 AM.

I've been debating between these 2 myself.
The ALG Ergonomic Modular Rail (EMR) V2 M-LOK is hard to beat for the money.

I have several of the ALG hand guards, including the m-lok version. They are solid and well made for the money. The barrel nut system is really nice, a wrench and shims is included with the handguard. With that said, only the smallest of gas blocks fit, so I just use the Geissele Super gas blocks.
