So, I got a new AR-15 this week and it came with a M-lok handguard that measures 8 5/8 (8.625 inches) and I want to replace it with a quad rail, but can't find one that seems like it would fit. Any help would be appreciated.

It's just a drop in, so I was wanting a drop in quad but it doesn't seem there is one the length I need. Also, the front cap is the triangle.A picture of the current config would go a long way. There are a few styles, and if you have a fixed front sight you're pretty limited unless you want to change that out.

How long is the barrel? Do you know what length gas system it has?[/QUOTE
The barrel is 17" and I'm not sure where to measure from on the gas system. From the end of the receiver to the front cap? If so it's 9 inches. I'm just now diving in to learning stuff about ARs.
Exactly like that, but that one is 8.5 and mine is 8.62. Would that little bit of variation matter? Also it needs to fit the triangle end cap.Is it something like this you're looking for?
