Vote: Best AR Handguard Length

[JBoyette]

What do you think its the best for a 16" + Ar15 handguard length for your use?

gas system length would vary my response. I run an adjustable block on all of my rifles for suppressed/unsuppressed work and want that block just barely exposed for easy adjustments.

Agreed. Depends on the gas block and application. I have a 9" on my 5.56 and a 15 7/8" on my 7.62.

I like the 15", my gas block adjustment screw points forward.

I use a straight left arm and a square (to target) stance and 13” is long enough. I am 6’. Taller/shorter would change arm length and rail needed.

15" if you need a bipod so you can get it way out there. 12-13" otherwise, unless you've got super long arms and need to push your grip out front further. Also depends on if you shoot nose to charge handle or further back.

I prefer a 15” hand guard (both aesthetically and functionally). I am 6’3 though

On a typical 16+" middy or rifle length gas, 15" rail. I like carbines to have A2 FSB and carbine drop in rails for some reason.

Can't have too much real estate... I put the longest handguard on I can fit...

13-15 for me.
