For the rifleman who desires the ultimate in creative customization, Unique-AR’s or Idaho offers custom free-float handguards for the AR platform. The company offers a variety of stock configuration tubes, configurable in either 7, 9, 12, or 15″. Also, Unique-ARs has options for custom one-off projects, group designs/buys, and private label options for OEMs.
All of their products are American-made and covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The stock configuration handguards range from $175 to $225, depending on the design. Unique-ARs will Cerakote your handguard for another $35. The tubes are capable of mounting rail sections for all your accessories.
I had the pleasure of being able to handle their wares at SHOTShow 2014. The handguards have excellent finish, are mounted solid, and most importantly: look fantastic! Now, to get my hands on one for some testing…

What's with the "teeth" at the front of the handguard of the topmost photo? It's not like you can effectively hit someone with it unless the muzzle was behind the "teeth" and they look thin enough to break with rough handling.
I justnoticed that Nathan S., the author of the above entry, is not "gear-queer." Was this title selected because "gear-faggot" was deemed too offensive? Or were you guys just tickled pink (uh-oh!) with the rhyme and liked the way the title rolled off the tongue better than the (equally offensive and audience alienating) phrase "gear-cocksucker?" Stay classy, TFB.
