Looking for a very light 13 or preferred 15" hand guard. The V7's look real good, but at $320 I don't know if they're that good. Also would prefer Keymod, but I'm flexible. So many companies selling so many guards that I've got eyestrain from searching.;) I can step up to the plate and get the V7 if there's no other options for equally decent product at a better price.
Thanks ahead for your help.

You may want to checkout a 2A Armament BL RAIL GEN 1 KEYMOD 15". Weighs 9.4 oz with barrel nut, which is less than both the V Seven and BCM Alpha. I have a M-LOK version and it's been pretty good so far. They are on sale now.

Wow! Looks like a deal, and about a C note cheaper. Limited quantities, so I will give it a day or so, and maybe jump on one. New project in motion. Thanks GOST.

SLR Helix on sale also.

I believe the Fortis Rev II is also close to 9oz and comes in a 14" and you can get Keymod or MLOK.

I like the BCM Alpha KeyMod handguards if you want to go KeyMod. I also like Centurion Arms CMR KeyMods.
How about Parallax Tactical.

Thanks tact, but it weighs in at just a hair under 17 ounces vs. a hair over 9 ounces. I'm trying to get as light as I can. Appreciate the help though.

I think you are crossing into aluminum can territory. :P

If I could poke some keymod holes in it, I'd consider taping a couple of bud cans together...[:D]
You're like a mad scientist over there. What ya got cooking in the lab? A super light rifle build?
What about the Hodge/Mega Wedgelock? Consider carbon fiber?
