Who Has Best Free Float Handguard for AR 308?

[lshel]

I keep looking at my M&P10 and wonder if a free floating handguard would be my next addition. I have researched several companies and there are different attachment methods. MI has a properitery barrel nut to replace existing and attached to it. Troy's MRF308 LP attaches to existing barrel nut as does Apex but they have a separate rail that you purchase that attaches to ff handguard.. Then Troy has a TRX308 that attaches to their barrel nut. JP Enterprises has their barrel nut and than an aluminum sleeve that is red locktite to the barrel nut they also have a separate top rail that is expensive for attaching to ff handguard.. Which of these methods gives the most secure attachment and will with stand the addition of a Harris Bi-pod. Also stay below a cost of $250? What system of attachment do you have on your AR308? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Then again do I need a free float handguard? They do look good!

Since no one had an opinion, I order the MI Dpms 308 Low height which attaches to their barrel nut using a clamp with two hex head screws. It appears that most are this way except the JP Enterprise which has an aluminum threaded outer nut that threads onto their barrel nut, but very expensive and top rail is extra.
