Alright guys I need your help here. As I'm looking at different S&W M&P15's on here I see multiple handguards. This one looks like standard polymer, another one I'm looking at has an MLOK. It seems to me that any accessories I want to put on are picatinny anyway so I'm thinking save a few bucks, buy this one with the standard polymer hand guard and replace it with a 7" picatinny rail? Doesn't seem like anything (on this site anyway) is an MLOK ready accessory. Is it worth it to go MLOK?

James, personally I would go with the mlok. Most likely the mlok has a free float handguard Wich will help with accuracy because the handguard is free floating and not touching the barrel putting unnecessary pressure on it. There are plenty of mlok accessories and if you find one you like that attaches using picatinny you can always get a mlok picatinny rail for just a few bucks. You attach a picatinny rail using the mlok slots. Here's a link to a mlok rail if you decide to go that route. Hope this helps and good luck with your choice.
