Installing a free floating handguard is not an overly complicated task. The handguard features four rails in the quad configuration - one at 12 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock, and 3 o’clock. You can attach accessories directly to the rail, providing nearly endless customizability. You may be asking, “What is a quad rail?” The MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail is a popular mounting system for small arms, standardized in 1995. The first is that the free floating handguard can improve inherent accuracy by promoting uniformity in barrel vibrations, because it doesn’t touch the barrel.Īnother is that you can fully accessorize your rifle by using a quad rail interface, attaching different sighting systems, vertical or horizontal foregrips, flashlights, laser aiming modules, and bipods. Whether you’re building an AR-15 or modifying a factory-assembled rifle, a free floating quad rail handguard offers numerous advantages over the traditional two-piece mil-spec handguards.
