Obviously I didn't want to cut corners on parts that really mattered. Chandler Hardwoods Inc. has a lot of options and their blems are very inexpensive - But still all made in the USA. I got him a 13" Foxtrot Lightweight Keymod handguard for $35 which seemed crazy to me, but it is not bad (shipping for just this one part was $12 which was too bad, but it came in two days) As a bonus I don't have to time the barrel nut with the gas tube/gas block. Worth a look at least.

My grendel is getting the 13" Foxtrot MLock handguard from Chandler. For $57 and being made in the US it is hard to beat, especially being MLock. I think it is a fairly new offering so no blems or anything. Still a lot of bang for your buck though.
