SPR handguards, What's everyone running? - Mil-dot Monkey - 10-30-2018
I recently build a 6.5 Grendel upper with a 22" Criterion HBAR barrel and put an Midwest Industries 15" Combat Rail on it. I'm not really digging the MI rail. Its good quality, just tight around that barrel. The under side of the gas block is about hair thickness away from touching the inside of the handguard, and all the M-Lok accessories are pretty close too. I can forsee the barrel making contact with the handguard and accessories from barrel whip and load shooting off a rest.
Anyone have any other recommendations on handguards, maybe with pictures of your set ups? Also would like to stay M-Lok because I have accessories already. Am I stuck going with a "Suppressor Ready" rail to get the desired clearance im after?

I love my ALG V1 M-Loks. Running them on my 22" Grendel and 5.56 SPR. Sadly, they've been discontinued. The V2 is the same thing with a bit of rail at the end at 12 o'clock. 20% off for Halloween. https://algdefense.com/ergonomic-modular-rail-v2-m-lok.html

I have one on a 24 inch 6.5 Grendel upper. Very sturdy.

I just went cheap with this one for my Sport 5.56 https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Matrix-Arms-AR-15-Foxtrot-M-LOK-Handguard-p/ma-foxtrot-mlok.htm?1=1&CartID=0 The one I have on there is a quad and was a big mistake. The Grr has an AP Enhanced which is doing well.

Which Seekins rail are you refering to, the MCSR V2 or the SP3R V2 rails?

Ordered the Geissele Super Modular MK8. Anyone have any experiance with a Superlative Arms adj. gas block under the MK8?

No experience with the gas block, but excellent rail choice

I'm running an OdinWorks O2 lite over a JP adjustable clamp on gas block, seems to work fine.
