What is your favorite A2 length stock other than the milspec A2, or ACE.

Who makes the smallest diameter handguard that would be easy to mount on a milspec nut(want to change out the standard 2 piece on a carbine)

I think Samson will be your best bet for handguard

I think the new Troy rails work with the milspec nut.

I have been using a Vltor fixed A1 length stock. It provides a good cheekweld, is solid, and lightweight. They are available in A2 length also.

The Samson Evo mounts directly to a stock milspec barrel nut and is available in about 1/2 dozen different lengths. This one is a 15" w/ an 18" barrel.

I will look up the samson and troy, something without the bottom or side rails, for a lady I am building a lightweight AR for.

Nordic Components has a small diameter hand guard that will fit. It is under 2" in diameter. Check their website.

also an interesting choice, the price is attractive. I will check with them to see how low of a profile gas block that will clear.
