AR-15/M16 Enhanced Handguards are aftermarket accessories designed to replace the standard handguards on AR-15 and M16-style rifles. These enhanced handguards offer various improvements in terms of modularity, ergonomics, and accessory attachment capabilities. Here are some key features and information about AR-15/M16 Enhanced Handguards:
Modularity: Enhanced handguards often feature modular attachment systems, such as M-LOK, KeyMod, or Picatinny rails. These systems allow the user to mount accessories like vertical grips, lights, lasers, and other tactical gear in various positions on the handguard.
Enhanced Ergonomics: Many enhanced handguards are designed with improved ergonomics, providing a more comfortable and secure grip. They may have different grip angles, texture, and contours for better control.
Heat Resistance: Enhanced handguards often have improved heat resistance and better heat dissipation properties. This is especially important during rapid and sustained firing sessions to prevent discomfort or damage to the handguard.
Extended Length: Some enhanced handguards extend beyond the standard handguard length, providing additional space for mounting accessories and offering a longer gripping surface. Extended handguards can also support different shooting techniques.
Free-Float and Drop-In: Enhanced handguards are available in both free-float and drop-in configurations. Free-float handguards do not make contact with the rifle's barrel, potentially improving accuracy. Drop-in handguards replace the standard handguard without additional modifications.
Material: Enhanced handguards are constructed from various materials, including aluminum, polymer, or composite materials. The choice of material affects weight, durability, and heat resistance.
Installation: The installation process varies depending on the type of handguard and the rifle model. Some may require gunsmithing skills for removal of the standard handguards and proper attachment of the enhanced handguards.
Manufacturer Variations: Numerous manufacturers offer enhanced handguards, each with unique designs, features, and compatibility with different AR-15 and M16 rifle models.
Customization: Enhanced handguards allow users to customize their rifles based on their preferences and intended use, whether it's for tactical, sport shooting, or hunting.
