Questions & Answers
Why doesn't this handguard accept standard/ universal-sized QD rings? You should really address this oversight ASAP!

While I can't disagree with Angel's answer one bit, it does seem kind of dumb and a bit of an FU on Trybe's side it out a hole on a handguard where the QD hole is normally placed and not have it fit a QD. It's like they're mocking their customers. And making them waste money and an mlok slot to add a qd mount. Just sheer stupidity on the companies side. Actually going to ask my gunsmith if he could enlarge it to fit a QD before I buy this. Almost want to not buy it on principle of the company's oversight.

How much does the barrel nut weigh? Giving just the weight of the rail without the nut is kind of deceptive when comparing to other rails. Expert Answer

The barrel nut of the TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnite Go Fast Ultra Lightweight M-LOK Handguard w/ Cut Top Rail is 3.4oz.

Helpful Positive Review Super nice and light by Mircea, Verified Owner, February 7, 2025
I really like this hand guard. The only con are the screws. The screws are 10-32 threads x 5/8 long, but the heads are sticking out too much. I think a better alternative would be to use pan head hex/torx screws. That’s what I replaced mine with.

Helpful Positive Review QD HOLES TOO SMALL by Ocho, Verified Owner, March 11, 2025
I recently bought the 12" TRYBE ultra light handguard and I really like it because of the weight and it seems very durable, but I deducted one star because of the QD mount holes being too small. I tried all of my QD attachments and none of them could...

Helpful Positive Review Blew My Mind by Casey, June 1, 2022
So light. Lighter than carbon fiber. I've ran this in the field for a few months. love the finish. Best fit for a lightweight build. Price was reasonable. Carbon fiber handguards are outrageously priced.

Product Info for TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnite Go Fast Ultra Lightweight M-LOK Handguard w/ Cut Top Rail

TRYBE Defense is excited to announce the next evolution of handguard technology with the introduction of the Magnite Series of handguards. Magnite is a magnesium alloy that is just as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum but weighs 30% less. So, if you're looking to lighten up your existing build or make that ultra-light build a reality, then the TRYBE Defense Magnite handguards are the only way to go.image

The Go Fast Ultra Lightweight model is exactly what it sounds like: a design made to reduce weight to an absolutely insane minimum. A handguard that has both slick design and M-LOK functionality is the standard for all lightweight builds.

Don't believe how incredibly light Magnite is? The weight specifications below detail the total combined weight of the TRYBE Magnite handguard, Magnite barrel nut, and mounting hardware:

  • TRYBE Go Fast Ultra Lightweight Cut Rail 7" Weight: 3.78 oz
  • TRYBE Go Fast Ultra Lightweight Cut Rail 9" Weight: 4.25 oz
  • TRYBE Go Fast Ultra Lightweight Cut Rail 12" Weight: 5.27 oz
  • TRYBE Go Fast Ultra Lightweight Cut Rail 15" Weight: 6.39 oz

Pick up the TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnite Go Fast Ultra Lightweight M-LOK Handguard with Cut Top Rail and feel for yourself.

If you want this same handguard but with a full top rail, do not fret! Check out the TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnite Go Fast Ultra Lightweight M-LOK Handguard with Full Top Rail and find the length and finish you need.

Installation Instructions

Handguard Installation instructions

In order to install your new handguard, you will need the following tools:

  • 30mm Wrench
  • 5/32" Hex Screwdriver
  • Thread Locker (optional)

Once you have installed your barrel in your upper receiver, thread the barrel nut onto the upper and tighten down to 35-40 foot pounds.

After you have installed your gas block and tube assembly, slide the handguard over the barrel nut. You may apply Loctite to the exterior of the barrel nut across the knurled surface for added grip. You will need to apply some force to the rail when going over the barrel nut as the knurling is designed to mar the interior surface of the rail, adding additional grip.

Align the rail with your receiver and put the mounting screws in the drilled holes from the left side of the upper receiver and proceed to tighten them down to 3 foot-pounds (36 inch-pounds). Do not torque screws more than 3 foot-pounds. Exceeding this force may strip the threads.
