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.

Benefits

• Improved accuracy: Free-float mounting minimizes handguard/barrel contact and preserves barrel harmonics.

• Accessory flexibility: Extensive M-LOK real estate plus full-length top rail supports modern accessory ecosystems.

• Comfortable handling: Slim cross-section and deburred edges reduce fatigue and improve grip ergonomics.

• Durable & repeatable: Heat-treated torque plate delivers rock-solid rail stability even under heavy accessory loads.

• Fast sling options: Integrated anti-rotation QD sockets simplify sling configuration without adding extra mounts.

Installation Notes

• Ensure compatibility with your upper receiver and choose the correct barrel nut/torque specs — professional installation or an armorer’s tool kit is recommended.

• When installing optics or backup sights on the rail, verify zero after reassembly.

• For gas-block compatibility, select the appropriate handguard length (carbine, mid, or rifle) to clear your gas system and low-profile gas block if used.

Suitable For

• Duty and patrol rifles

• Competition builds (3-gun, tactical matches)

• Precision AR platforms where accessory flexibility and accuracy matter

• General-purpose AR-15 shooters seeking a refined, lightweight rail system

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.
