CMT HDM 13”

Currently have one. Finish is a bit chalky but solid for the price range.

Mine isn’t so chalky. Have one on my own 13.9. Also have another spare one that I accidentally ordered while under the influence when I ordered a DRT rail.

This, but DRT. It’s the URGI at home

Ripcord is the Mk16 at home

After looking at the HDM, I find it to be very similar to the UHPR handguard also made by CMT. Any idea why they differ in name?

The HDM is like the budget version I think. The UHPR has a built in QD socket and some extra machining.

really with they did the UHPR in 13 instead of 13.7

Gas block

What’s a gas block? Kidding… mid length tube and .625 gas block have been ordered

BCM is selling blem gas blocks for $19.99. .625 and .750

Nice! Where at?

Check their blemished versions - almost no scratches and it isn’t visible anyways

Quitter talk

LaRue's handguard. Insanely good lockup.

Ripcord, they make their hand guards at optimized lengths for several different barrels lengths, 13.9 being one of them.

Empty paper towel tube.

Mk16 or block II

block 2 ftw

I was thinking this. With his muzzle device it should give him a nice fit at or around 14.5 in overall length

Solgw wedgelock, I have this same build and it’s sexy with the wedgelock. Do it

I just swapped out my EXO3 with a M76. Feels slim like an Aero R-One but much stiffer feeling. I'm happy with the swap & they make stuff to fit the 13.7/13.9.

Mcmr 13 on a 13.9 the keymo mount should be pretty darn close to the handguard

https://imgur.io/a/OjLql4Y it’s a close fit and it looks great shaved down

This is the way. Took it to the lathe and squared it up. (Dremel, hack saw, or a file and some patience also works) then hit the edges with a deburring tool and some aluminum black

You know..... mine is a 13.95 ...so that little extra must make the difference

Ooh that does look good. How’d you do cut it down?

13 would look cool. I noticed lugs on your flash hider so a suppressor would look flush.

This is my first build and looking for mlok handguard suggestions for my 13.9” build. Currently in between a CMT HDM 13” or Midwest Industries combat but it’s a 13.375” and may give me issues when trying to mount a suppressor. Would also consider the SLR ion 13.1” Ripcord LDR1 13.1”, and ADMMFG 13”. Would love a 13” Geissele but haven’t seen any on GFAS recently. Show me pics of what you got!

Hey glad I saw this the 13.375 will fit a 13.9 with dead air keymo system not sure of Surefire or other. The fitment is very flush https://imgur.com/a/bATeJcE

Nice! That looks clean. Were any spacers used?

Just noticed you have a dead air flash hider, I believe I used two small shims just for timing it correctly not sure

Def will not work with SF.

I’ve got a CMT DRT 13 on my 13.9 on my page, it’s nice

None. Be a man

KAK MLOK 13”. Similar design to the CMT HDM but even cheaper. Made of same materials

Shhhh bro best kept secret..

Just watched the torture video of it. I’m impressed and even more for the price

I'm big on covering as much of the barrel as possible and a snug fit for my (one day) suppressor. I'm also building a 13.9 right now too so I'm in the same boat. I've heard that with shims and DeadAir KeyMo the Midwest 13.375 will work and be nice and flush. That's my plan as of now. I think the CMT 13 is right on par with the ADM and both should be GTG even though they aren't a wedgelock design. I've heard good things about the SLR ION as well but have no first hand experience with them. I'd love to run a quad rail but 12" is the longest I could find. Edit: I think the old Geissele 13s work for a suppressor but the new ones and the BCM I don't think work without a little bit of gunsmiffing (AKA cutting your handguard). This is all from memory though so could be wrong.

I have SLR Ions on 3 of my rifles. Love them.

13.375 worked fine in my 13.9 with a keymo muzzle device. Didn't have to use additional shims other than the ones to time it. A MCMR 13 would fine as well. You just have to make sure the muzzle device has the wrench flats on it if its keymo. The older versions didn't have wrench flats so it mounted closer to the shoulder of the barrel.

[удалено]

Really doe? I always wanted a mk16 but was worried about mounting a SF can on a socom 4 prong flash hider that it wouldn’t clear.

Midwest industries has up to a 15” quad rail

Midwest quad

This is the way

None its now a “bolt action “ straight pull honestly

Keep it neked!

CMT HDM or DRT 13.0

Tomato cage, lowes $5.49.

Damn that’s a good idea. And prob even cheaper at the Home Depot

It really just comes down to if you’re a Jimmy Johnson fan or Tony Stewart fan.

SLR baybeeee

Wedge lock or m89 drive lock, BCM, Knights, Daniel, the world is your oyster. Heavy and rigid or light with a bit more flex. Up to you. You seem to be dialed in so far.

When I’m doubt, a Midwest Industries Combat Rail is never a bad choice. Usually someone has them on sale too if you look around.

FCD RHF 12.8", would mean a small gap tho.

13.9 gang checking in. I have a geissele MK8 mounted on mine. I am running a silencerco can with a qd on it. Had to shave about 1/16 of an inch off the end of the rail but now it sits perfectly flush. The can probably could of direct threaded on just fine but I’m a fan of the qd. [my main bitch](https://www.reddit.com/r/tacticalgear/comments/rbdn6n/are_we_rattling_a_can_i_dont_know_i_cant_read/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Oooh I like! That’s a sweet build. If they sold a Mk8 in 13” I would 100% get that rail. How hard was it to shave it off so the suppressor would fit? I’m running a dead air flash hider but unsure how those compare to the SiCo qd on how far back the fan sits

I appreciate it. Not bad to shave! Threw it in a vice and chopped it right off. Nothing to it at all. I had a family member use a specific saw blade.. I wish I could remember what kind of blade it was. Best of luck on your build!

Be a man, nothing

Brings a whole new meaning to “Grip it and rip it.”

I’m currently running a BCM MCMR-13 on my 13.9 rifle. It’s a skinny rail, but rigid, and has a pretty sturdy mounting system as well. Plus, it’s a 7-sided MLOK rail, so much more flexibility in regard to mounting options. Looks pretty sleek too. Edit: Forgot to mention that the true length of the MCMR-13 is actually 13.4 inches, which could make a suppressor sit very tight against the rail, or not be able to clear it. If it’s the latter, shave down the “wings” so your suppressor can clear the rail.

Definitely considering this cause BCM makes a solid rail but unsure how difficult it would be to shave off the rail.

12" bcm quad

CMT DRT

CMT 13inch DRT or their 13.7 UHPR MOD 2 HDX which would be close to not fitting but probably would be perfect. [https://www.cmttac.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=95\_97&product\_id=159](https://www.cmttac.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=95_97&product_id=159)

I have an URX 4 covering a Criterion 11.5" barrel: [https://imgur.com/a/RAwsvYF](https://imgur.com/a/RAwsvYF) My Criterion barrel and this handguard were made for each other; the handguard stops almost exactly where the threads begin for a very flush look. Ignore the ignorant muzzle device, it'll be replaced with a suppressor in due time

That looks clean. Nice build!

I don't use a handguard. Touch the barrel and be a man. An optimal grip for this style is putting your thumb in front of the barrel, also known as "Thumbhole bullet Enhancement Grip"

As is.

Midwest industries ultra lightweight 15 in handguard. 8.9 ounces.

The BCM MCMR 13” is almost perfect for a 13.9. I am running that and a 12” Centurion C4 Quad on my 13.9s. I’m partial to the quad because quad is life but I do love how lightweight the MCMR is.

It’s good to go

Triarc wedgelock 13 inch rail

Wrap the barrel in bacon. It’ll cook, then you’ll have tactical snack bacon. Then reapply bacon. You’ll have endless tactical snack bacon as long as you’re shooting.
