Yep. Any carbine length 2 piece for ar-15 will work.

You don’t need a gun Smith just a few tools

I will say that if you want to install a free float handguard that requires a new barrel nut and thus a barrel nut wrench, they aren't too expensive but buy the good one that goes all the way around the barrel and has 5 pins or more and not just 3. One like this or similar will be less likely to slip and mess up the barrel nut, plus you can put a torque wrench on these or a cheater bar if needed. https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/wrenches/ar-15-m16-barrel-nut-wrench-prod27412.aspx?avs|Make_3=AR-15

There are other options out there but the combo tools will frequently fail and just frustrate you

 

[Jester896]

yes, those are good wrenches. Most of them have a torque wrench spot in them. You may also need a gas tube alignment tool. If you are going to clamp it in a vice you will also really want vice blocks. If you don't want to buy all of that take it to a smith.

Aight...thanks for the info kinda went with a budget hand guard. Looks like I’m have to replace the gas block too, to low profile.

did you see that it isn't round? Looks more teardrop shaped like the rifle handguard

 

[scott stokes]

If you don’t already have the tools it’s lot cheaper to take it to gun smith.
