I have a question. I am new to ARs and am wondering about the hand guard and mounting accessories. I see in all the great pictures that you guys have posted many different hand guards and I am in need of advice. Can any accessories be mounted to the original factory hand guard or does it have to be replaced with one of those fancy multiple rail looking setups.
On the internet I saw a mounting bracket that attaches to an original hand guard and is designed to hold a flashlight or laser. Are these worth even looking at or should I get the newest bullet proof four rail high dollar version.
It looks like some of you guys have mounted a bipod, a 1 million candle power floodlight, and a Dodge mini van on those hand guards. I will probably stick to something a little more conservative.
That being said, three questions, how difficult is it to remove/install a new hand guard, what do you guys think are the most used accessories and in case I can get another loan from the Mother in-law, where is a good place to purchase the right one.
Thanks for your responses.
