AR15 SBR Hand Guard Advice?
I have an SBR that is 11.5 inches with an A2 Front sight post. I currently have a quad rail that mounts to my barrel nut and goes over the front site post(has a cut out for the front site post).
I want to switch the guard out to something that is even lighter (no more quad rails). So I can just attach two small m-lock rails to hold my forward grip and flashlight. However, I’d like some thing that still attaches to the barrel nut, and still has a cut out for the A2 sight post.
After a few hours of searching on the Internet, I realized that meeting my specifications may be hard. Does anyone know of something that would meet what I’m asking?

How about the Magpul M-Lok hand guard.

TacMedic, not sure if there's one that completely fits your bill, but I would do something like this-
https://slrrifleworks.com/solo-10-7-ult ... handguard/
And then mill out/cut this-

I've had good luck with SLR, they're extremely lightweight, and I don't think overpriced.

No delta ring. I’m thinking I will just go with a 7 inch handguard that just ends behind my front site post. Thanks all!AZ1182 wrote: ↑March 8th, 2020, 1:12 am Is the Delta ring still attached? If so, here are two options to think about and both are quality.

This is what I have on my own 11.5 SBR with FSB like yours, I like the added real estate that it gives me:

looks like GringoLoco beat me to it but this one is a bit different.

I ended up going with just a seven inch behind my front site post. It was still two piece that I didn’t have to remove the front sight post.
