Short handguard project for M10/45

[Erehton]

I have been wanting a plain handguard for a while and can only find the 9mm version. Here's what I came up with: A 4" alloy free float. Will go for a 4"quad AR pistol forend next. Removed my strap hanger and this feels pretty good almost carbine like to aim.

Next I plan to make use of the skinny CAR handguards and use a delta ring assembly for this look

I like it. I often use a handguard type upper. So I can hide a 10" barrel in there.

You do know that In Lead We Trust makes a hand guard rail adapter right? If you go to https://inleadwetrust.com/product-category/quad-kits-4-macs/ you can see it. He used to sell the whole package including a Yankee Hill Machine 4" quad rail. I would think that you could buy the quad rail direct from YHM.

Does ILWT make 7/8-9 adapters? I know he makes 3/4-10 for 9mm barrels.

Your 4" free float with a 7/8-9 bushing is a simple and clean method. I like it. If you have dual-threaded barrel you should still be able to pretty easily use a can without removing the handguard.

I like the masterpiece arms set up best. Providing you have the two holes in the Trunion already! Then you can use whatever you want inside with 7/8-9, 3/4-10 or 1/2-28 threads. Doesn’t use any of your existing barrel threads. Imho. Ymmv.

Good job. I like it better than most.

I like that a lot!
Where’d you get the 7/8 x 9 press fit bushing?

I have seen one but I do not think it is offered any more
