The thicker polymer on the left are from a DPMS and the right is from an Anderson. The DPMS poly is thicker than the Anderson but the Anderson has aluminum shields. I never used the DPMS as I replaced them w/ a quad aluminum rail on day one after getting it out of a box so I can't give any usage comparisons between the two. Anyone have any comments to offer?
Slapped the Anderson's on. Cleaned the barrel inside and out, frog lubed the upper and BCG. Now I'm just waiting on my stock and sights. Chance it might be in today or tomorrow.
I have built a total of 11 AR's in the past few years. I have gotten most of those hand guards off eBay. I have built three that looked like the A1 rifle, on the first two A1 clones I built, the hand guards came from Numrich Gun Parts, and on the last A1 clone I built, Numrich only had one side so I got a set off eBay. I have gotten several "free float" hand guards from sellers on eBay. You can find them that look like those super expensive ones for 1/4 the price (and I am cheap).
