Is there a VTAC handguard that will cover the gas block on a 16 inch barrel? If so what is the model number? Here is a picture of the gun that I plan to put it on. I'm wanting a VTAC rail that will cover the same area as my current rail. Thanks.

What length gas system do you have?

I would just get the rifle length handguard personally. They offer 3 lengths.

I'd go with the midlength or rifle length handguard then if you have a 16" barrel. But it's all personal choice. Although, do you have any muzzle devices?

Call Viking Tactics up and find out how long exactly each handguard is.

I looked online but couldn't find the exact length.

Here's Noveske's version with a 16" barrel WITH a flash hider and a rifle length VTAC handguard. To me, it looks nice and balanced.
