Buy the parts you want and put them on your existing receivers. You'll save yourself a couple hundred dollars. or more. if you get the tools it takes less than 15 minutes to change an AR-15 Barrel
Your barrel/gas length should determine the handguard length.

He possibly wants a shorter lighter handguard. You probably don't want a 9" handguard on a rifle length gas system.
I would modify your ar, very easy,lots of YouTube,and forums for you to get how to info,then your making it just the way you want.everybody says a factory rifle is way better,but I don't ,it gives you a sence of pride when you put it together yourself,and cheaper.
