Machined from 6061 aluminum, the Briley 3 Gun M-Lok Handguard Stoeger is designed for the competitive 3 gun shooter. The handguard profile has been designed to wrap over the top of the barrel to protect the shooter's hand during strong-hand reloads, as well as allowing a higher grip for improved control. The Stoeger 12" handguard weighs in at just 10.4 oz and is hard anodized flat black. The handguard ships fully assembled and installs directly in place of the factory forend with no modifications to the shotgun.
