Yeah you could put a free floating 4 rail hand guard on that rifle.. There is more then one way to skin the proverbial cat and here is a few ways fof doing it..

The EASY way. Vltor CASV or Daniel defense Omega rail.

You remove the plastic handguards and this replaces them. both examples can be bought in your choice of black, green, or brown

the less easy way.. two piece free floating rails that attach to the barrel nut. You have to cut off the Delta ring, and then clamp the rails to the barrel nut. The delta ring on my Oly is made of plastic, but some delta rings are made of aluminium. Make sure that the rifle you buy has a plastic delta ring if you want this style of rail system.

If you dont know what a delta ring is: It is the thing that bells out in front of the reciever and behind the handguards. You simply pull the delta ring back and pull outward on the handguards to remove them.

Here is some examples of 2 piece free floating handguards.

If you plan to put a scope or red dot sight and magnifier onto your rifle, you will need a low profile folding BUIS, if you want back up iron sights.. look at the midwest SPLP or A.R.M.S. #40L, I have both, and they are adequate..

If you want a vertical grip, My two favorites types are YHM's folding grip or ace ltd's shorty grip.

If you want a weapons light I'd recomend Insight Tech or surefire... A surefire E2D LED in a Vltor mount is a very good option. Both the E2D LED and most Insight lights are light weight and bright enough to see stuff over 100 yards away.

My four favorite red dots are The Aimpoint models, H-1micro, ML-2 2x, ML-3, and E.O. Tech 511/512 in that order.

I agree 100% with Quickmajik. But these hand guards are not cheap. Stay away from the Chinese stuff that is floating around and trying to be passed off as quality. Any thing under $200.00 retail I'd stay away from. The midwest stuff would be at the bottom end price wise of any thing I would buy. They have about the best quality at the lowest cost.
