15" Handguards / Rails, What's your favorite and why?

[Matt1911]

I got to check out the samson that Hensy has on his rifle, its pretty sweet. I thought it would be a thicker handguard than the Troy but it feels about the same diameter. I may have to get one whenever I build my backup comp rifle.

Can't find a Seekins SP3R 15" anywhere. On about 8 notify me lists when they come in. Missed a few on ar15.com going for $300. Most vendors say they haven't seen them in 6 or so months. As an alternate I'm looking at the Diamonhead VRS which has a triangular shape that's growing on me. Last part I need before heading off to cerakote the whole gun. Anyone have experience with this?

Stag is using that hand guard on their new model 8T. It's pretty sweet. Feels cool in the hand too.

I love my Samson Evo and the Rainier version looks sweet. That Seekins Patrick posts looks great too.
