I tried a 10" hand guard from Rousch Sports after a couple other forum members tried them. I think it's a good hand guard for the money.
Here is a link to a 12" hand guard.

on flea-bay the clamp-on style with steel barrel nut does OK.
they are slim and light too. they seem to go for $30-$40
i recently got a 15" ultra slim key-mod that don't require any gas tube timing. i think it is my fave--
and PA sometimes has the aero-products on sale for 60ish

Magneto Speed has a Picatiny rail adapter that you can use. http://shop.brownells.com/shooting-accessories/range-gear/chronographs/v3-rail-adapter-sku100017387-80103-164507.aspx?cm_mmc=PPC-_-Itwine-_-Google-_-100-017-387&gclid=COfo1-bBv9QCFZeEaQodhdsK9A

I am now partial to cheap hand-guards because they are good and cheap.
The price they charge for the ones with a known brand is ridiculously high.
A few months ago I went through with the purchase of handguards and wrote my story here:

Just make sure you get the steel barrel nut.

I also used on of the Rousch 12" and I am very pleased with it for the money. It came with the barrel nut, several shims for timing the hand-guard with the upper, extra rails and allen wrenches. I used it with an AA 16" barrel, AA upper and Odin tuneable gas block. The Rousch is low profile and all of the extra rails come off to lighten the weight.

Best buy on free float hand guards I have ever found was on Tac Vector Optics Key-mod free-float hand guards on Ebay. From 25 to 65 dollars, and are very strong.
here's a link to the one I used on my SPR.
