Ok, I'm looking at throwing a railed forearm on my rifle length AR, to add some light's etc.. for plinking varmints, and am curious as to why there is such a huge range in price's for similar length and models. I really like the PRI GEN III, but that goes for over $300, YMH makes a similar model "5005"for $120, LaRue/Daniel Defense over $300, similar YHM or Midwest around $150....

What gives here? are those higher priced Brands that much better? All these manufactuers claim they now have anti rotaion screws to help with bending, and 6061-T6 aluminum or better. Perhaps overhead and production cost factor into this? Im not looking to beat the critter to death with this handguard, or bust down his front door, just want something that will do the job and not break. Thoughts?
