If you are on a extreme budget OhHunt makes a light really inexpensive one. It's thin. I got one one through a parts deal and it wasn't bad. However, I didn't give the drop test. Matrix has good prices is they have them in stock. Most hand guards I have cost a fortune cause I like function and aesthetics, those you pay hard for. Trinity Force made change to theirs to keep them from walking forward. The last two handguards I purchased set me back over 400 bucks. You don't need all that to have a nice rifle. 80 to 120 is a range that a decent one can be had if you aren't a brand name guy.
