Stern Defense SD MOD5 M-Lok Handguards Up to 22% Off w/ Free S&H — 3 models
Great piece, very comfortable, good look and function, very affordable. Fits great with my 8.5 inch barrel. Only wish it came with a barrel nut wrench. Contacted the company and they were out of stock. Their customer service was very helpful, profess...

Exactly as I expected, love it, was less expensive on Optics Planet vs Stern Defense website. Fit AR build fine and no modifications needed would recommend to all considering this for their next AR build
The handguard requires you to use it's barrel nut. So if you want to just swap out the handguard it will not fit. Especially if you are using a PSA upper. Beyond that it was a nice handguard. Too bad I have to return it
As title says, the box this item came in was taped shut with packing tape. Later I discovered the handguard was missing screws, this was the last part I needed for my .338 ARC build, so I ordered the size screws it appeared to need, and finished th...

Product Info for Stern Defense SD MOD5 M-Lok Handguards
The Stern Defense SD M-LOK Handguard Rail is an ultra-short and light-weight rail solution that is completely free-floating. This rail by Stern Defense utilizes M-LOK technology and features the "Insert now, Attach Later" feature. The benefits of a short rail are that you get a very slim profile and greater control of your AR based rifle. With this shorty rail you also get a very low profile and allow the barrel to extend out so that it doesn't hit rail at an uncomfortable angle. A low profile is great for a CQB scenario where you can keep you hands occupied instead of fumbling with a hot barrel or having an attachment laying around that is awkward to operate. For a great way to make sure you are working with one of the best free float forends the AR shooting industry has to offer, choose the Stern Defense SD M-LOK Handguard Rail.
