    NOTE: Beginning 01/01/2025 “pistol” AR’s will now have a 45mm handguard versus the standard 40mm. The reason is that many of our customers are adding suppressors (silencers).

    With that being said, the 45mm handguard will accommodate 95% of the suppressors on the market. Therefore, all you have to do is remove the current flash hider (which for the 5.56 is a ½ x 28 thread) and the suppressor will fit inside the handguard.

    If for any reason you prefer the standard 40mm handguard, let us know and we can still use that version.

  • Flash Brake – Options – KAK Industries, Tacticool22 and Ballistic Advantage
