    6.8. 18" barrel 13" rail. Initially I wanted a 15" but I like the way it ended up.

    I had a 15" handguard on a 16" barrel for a little while. I kind of liked the way it looked. I also figured there wasn't any really good reason for having any of the barrel exposed anyways. This setup let me reach out and grab it wherever I wanted without worrying about grabbing something hot. Supporting the front end against something for support was also pretty easy and trouble free. And since I was running iron sights having them as far apart as possibly really helped with accuracy.

    15" KMR or 15" Strike Industries Keymod are Extremely light.

    FWIW, I have a 15" Alpha rail on a BCM BFH 16" upper with glass on it and agree that getting the bipod out farther helps. I do like that all the barrel is covered on that setup. I wish they had released the KMR rails a little sooner, I could have saved myself a few bucks on a package deal.

    I just bought a 16" BCM upper with a 13" KMR. If the 15" KMR was available at the time, I would have jumped on it. Longer is better for sight radius and stability, as mentioned previously, and I really love the look of a long HG.
