Bushmaster's A2 lineup on the way back

[556Cliff]

Looking at Bushmaster's new A2's, do the handguards appear to be the "fat" variety?

Not based on that picture, they appear to be the standard mil-spec type as far as their size. However, they still might be cheap knock offs, as most commercial brand A2 handguards usually are.

The A2 grip on the rifle pictured is the absolute worst of the worst cheap LPK A2 grips that are available, so I'm guessing the rest of the furniture is crap too.


Currently, I believe Colt and possibly H&R is the only source of correct mil-spec A2 handguards. Windham Weaponry used to carry them as well, but I believe that might not be the case anymore.
