What Are the Most Popular Handguards & Forends?
When it comes to AR15 handguards, the most popular type we sell are quad rails that come with Picatinny rail sections on all four sides of the handguard. Quad rails allow you to connect attachments to the rifle on all four sides of the barrel, giving you impressive versatility. While these are usually AR15 handguards, you can also attach them to other tactical weapons, like specialized Remington 870s. Additionally, many come with a full-length or carbine-length Picatinny top rail for sights, heat shields, and have M-LOK and Keymod rail sections for easy adaptability, no matter what your application.
How Do You Choose the Right Handguard?
One of the most important decisions when choosing a rifle handguard is whether you want to spend the extra money on an M-LOK handguard or free-float handguard. An M-LOK handguard lets you attach laser sights, foregrips, and other gun parts using the M-LOK attachment system, which can improve your weapon in many ways. The advantage of a free-floating forend over a standard handguard is that it only has one point of contact at the barrel nut. This enhances your accuracy during sustained fire because the barrel won't bow when it gets overheated. Even if you aren’t facing a tactical situation where you have to anchor your rifle and empty the mag, free-floating handguards are also lighter than standard models, so they are still beneficial.
What Is a Standard Handguard?
The spring-loaded delta ring on standard handguard makes detaching and attaching your rail system a breeze. Not only is it the cheaper option, but you don’t need specialty tools or a low-profile gas block to use them. When shopping for handguards and forends, make sure you get the right size firearm. We sell carbine handguards, mid-length handguards, and full rifle-length handguards.
