M17 Handguards?

[RJ Shooter]

Kurt, a company named Badger Ordnance is marketing this free-float handguard for ARs. I think it looks pretty good on an AR actually, but do you think this is simply an M17 shell made to connect to an AR's barrel nut?

Ironic if so, because most people hate the m-17s handguard?

That's because they get hot with the action/barrel/etc. all encased in the aluminum body. ;)

Yes, that is the exact same extrusion. I was consider the rifle HG for M17 'projects'. Thx! Good to be back!
