AR-15 Free Float 1-Piece Combat Rail Handguard
The AR-15 Free Float 1-Piece Combat Rail Handguard is a precision-engineered, continuous-top Picatinny rail solution that improves accuracy and modularity while keeping weight low. Free-floating design eliminates pressure on the barrel, preserving harmonics for tighter groups. Built from high-quality aluminum and finished with fully deburred edges, this handguard blends durability, ergonomics, and accessory flexibility for duty, competition, and tactical builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this handguard fit my AR-15?
A: It fits AR-platform rifles using a Mil-Spec upper/receiver and the correct barrel nut interface. Verify your upper receiver type and gas system length (carbine/mid/rifle) before ordering.
Q: What is the advantage of a 1-piece free-float handguard?
A: A 1-piece free-float handguard provides a continuous, rigid mounting surface and reduces contact with the barrel, which helps maintain barrel harmonics and improve accuracy.
Q: Are M-LOK accessories compatible?
A: Yes — the handguard features seven sides of M-LOK attachment points compatible with MIL-STD M-LOK accessories and rails.
Q: Does the handguard include QD sockets?
A: Yes — it includes two integral anti-rotation QD sling sockets for ambidextrous sling placement.
Q: How do I maintain the finish and hardware?
A: Periodically inspect mounting screws and barrel nut torque, clean debris from M-LOK slots, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for corrosion prevention and finish care.
