Originally, I set out to build an upper solely to test the Bergara 20” AR-15 barrel so I was not looking to spend a ton of money on a new handguard.  After a failed start using a free float tube that I got on sale I was on the hunt for something that was affordable, free floating, and modular. 

1791 GunLeather makes carry belts and a wide variety of holsters, most of them built with heavy cowhide and state-of-the-art flexible carbon fiber.
