Two weeks ago, with your assistance and support, I completed my first AR-15 lower. Now I'm shopping for an accompanying upper.
I have handguard questions.
I see two basic styles. The one held in place by a spring loaded delta ring and the free float design. Am I correct so far?
As the grip and stock on the new lower are FDE, I'd like the handguard to match. It's important that the drapes match the carpet.
What's the easiest way to do this? As there are very few uppers sold with FDE handguards, I'm thinking I need to buy the completed upper I want and have it cerakoted.
I've looked at the videos on assembling an upper and I'm not sure I want to go that route.
I haven't seen a lot of FDR-colored handguards. Does anyone have a suggestion? I assume that if I can assemble a lower, with a few lost detents and one F-word, I can replace the handguards.
Thanks!
