Foregrip for old school carbine handguard?

[BDinPutnam]

I should know this but where can i find mounting hardware/foregrip that I can mount to the old school carbine handguard on my M&P 15 (the type with holes on the bottom and top rather than rails)?

Thinking about doing a featureless build out of spare parts I have on hand and converting the M&P to a fixed mag.

I might have something you can have.

If you want to give me a day or two to look through my parts, I'll let you know.
If I remember correctly, I have a single rail and then I have on that conforms to the curvature of the plastic handguard.

No rush my friend I am just looking for stuff to dick around with.

It's funny you made this thread. I'm actually looking for a mid length oem drop in plastic handguard. I have most of the parts to build another upper and have a virtual shopping cart ready to order the other parts I need.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Hmm...

Pretty sure what I have on this is carbine or I'd offer it up to you and put a cheap Magpul on this. I'll give it a measure later.

Talk about potential reversal of karma fortune!

ETA yeah... carbine. I suppose I could always just get a drop in quad.

Yeah that's carbine length. I may have a middy somewhere.

JSE has 9" in stock but only in OD, black is sold out.

I have the original factory handguard off my SCR which is carbine length if that would work for you?

Grazi.

Now that would be an interesting mashup! Keep you both in mind, thanks! I might see if I can just get an MOE or a drop in quad.

I believe mine is MOE, If I remember I picked up something that was Mlok and it didn't fit.

Ended up ordering the parts I need to complete another upper. I have an old YHM two piece gas block with a bottom rail and flip up front sight post, so I am going to do an old school delta ring build with the factory type drop in plastic handguards.

Pretty productive day so far. Gave my car a tune up and built this. see @GOPerfect it's that easy.

Have it mounted here on my fixed mag NYGF lower. I have an A2 stock I may use on another lower. I'll either make it another fixed mag lower or I'll use a spur with an extended trigger guard. We'll see. I think the next upper I build will have to be rifle length.

I really like almost 100% of this

 

[BDinPutnam]

That's pretty. Love the carry handle.

Yes. You do.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Yes. You do.

If our state didn't suck so much my 2nd build would've been an XM-177(x) clone... I couldn't find it in my heart to build a fixed mag Commando.

I hear you.
One of these days I'll grab an upper with the handle incorporated and do a true retro rifle build. Probably not until after I leave this state for obvious reasons.
