Designed specifically for all standard commercial carbine barrels, this tactical handguard system offers the shooter a stable platform for mounting 37MM flare launchers, lights, lasers, and vertical foregrips. Manufactured by U.T.G. from aircraft grade aluminum, the rails are cut to M1913 specifications to ensure compatibility with all tactical accessories. Handguards are no longer limited to simply offering a place to support the weapon in the non-firing hand. With the advent of railed handguards, the operator is able to tailor his weapon to the tactical environment. Each rail is numbered to ensure that optical accessories are returned to the same location they were removed from to ensure proper zero. Installation is easily accomplished by removing the standard handguard and installing the two-piece railed set. Includes rail covers for protection and comfort. No gunsmithing required. See handguard removal tool (Order# FQ365).
