Guntec Ultra Light Handguard Features The Guntec USA Ultra Light Handguard is machined from T6 aluminum and engineered specifically to minimize weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for a true free-float design on AR-308 rifles. The included proprietary barrel nut is a key part of the system sliding into place and locking the handguard tight against the receiver using six screws rather than relying on a loose-fitting interface. This secure mounting method creates a monolithic top rail that reads as a continuous surface with the upper receiver s own rail which improves consistency when mounting optics or accessories that span the junction. A free-floating handguard like this also keeps the barrel from contacting the handguard under stress supporting more consistent accuracy. The M-LOK slot system built into the handguard gives shooters a lightweight direct-attach mounting option for lights grips bipods and other accessories without needing separate rail sections. Finished in matte black the handguard s 15 inch length provides ample real estate for mounting multiple accessories along the full length of the rifle s forend. Because the system is purpose-built for the AR-308 platform the barrel nut and handguard interface are sized correctly for that larger receiver diameter avoiding the fitment issues that come with adapting AR-15 parts. This Ultra Light Handguard gives AR-308 builders a lightweight rigid and accessory-ready free-float platform for sale at GrabAGun.
