Hanguard over suppressor.

[mattiooo]

I have a 300 blackout upper with an 8.5" bbl and a can. I'd like to replace the 7" handguard with a new one that goes over the can in a Honey Badger style.
Something along the lines of this: (without all the Cerakote)

So far I have found the Aero Precision and Midwest Industries handguards that will fit over the can.

Any other's I should check out? Or stay away from?

Outside diameter of my can is 1.375" and length is 7.6" - Gemtech GM-45

While those look nice, unless you're going to run suppressed full time. You may run in to issues with muzzle blast inside the tube.

Yep. The suppressor lives on that upper unless I borrow it for use on a pistol.

I have a similar set-up. I am running a Seekins rail.

As kazoo said, the muzzleblast can destroy handguards. The other BIG consideration is heat transfer, that rifle handguard pictured is going to get HOT! I'll try to find the thread, but this was explored at length over at m4carbine.net and they had pics of alum handguards that had been cracked, split and separated by non-suppressed muzzle brakes under the handguards.

With that said, Daniel Defense has an integral SBR offering (that is heavier than it looks) and Spikes has the Compressor. US military is also fielding proposals for a new rifle cartridge with a integral suppressor built in the host, a la larue's Surg entry among others.

Thanks Wolfshoon. As I replied to Kazoo, the suppressor lives on that upper. It doesn't come off unless I'm borrowing it for a pistol. That upper will never (never say never, I know) normally be used without the suppressor. The adapter stays on the upper even when I use the suppressor on a pistol.

He did say the suppressor lives on it.
Spikes is another option.

I like SLR Rifleworks, but I don't see that they are big enough internally...

I like SLR as well but like you said I think all of the rails are 1.3"ID. I know there are more manufactures out there that make some bigger ID rails.

Isn't there a picture in the WTF Were They Thinking?! thread of a guy that mounted a battery powered computer fan to his handguard to keep it cool?
