Lightweight, machined aluminum forend combines the accuracy-improving benefit of free-float attachment with four Picatinny rails for customized mounting of tactical accessories. One-piece free-float design attaches directly to upper receiver with the included barrel nut to eliminate pressure points on the barrel that can compromise accuracy. Large vent holes help keep weight to a minimum and ensure plenty of air circulation to cool barrel. Unobstructed interior provides adequate internal clearance for most gas piston systems, and allows installation on a rifle/carbine with a gas system shorter than the handguard if a low-profile gas block is also installed. Clean, streamlined exterior has no gap between receiver rail and top rail of handguard. Slots are marked with white, laser-etched alphanumeric position markers for precise positioning of accessories and fast, repeatable configuration changes. Includes anti-rotation pin to keep handguard aligned. Requires removal of factory barrel nut and delta ring.
