The Aero Precision APRH100199C handguard transforms AR-15 platforms with precision-machined stainless steel construction and a full 15.125-inch length for extended sight radius capability. This free-floating rail system eliminates barrel contact interference while providing multiple mounting solutions for optics and accessories.
What Makes This Different
Stainless steel construction sets this handguard apart from standard aluminum alternatives, delivering superior corrosion resistance and enhanced rigidity under thermal stress. The 15.125-inch length accommodates longer barrel configurations while maintaining structural integrity throughout the entire rail system. Manufacturing tolerances hold to +/- 0.001 inches, ensuring consistent lockup with upper receivers and barrel nuts.
Key Features
- 15.125-inch stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance
- Free-floating design eliminates barrel contact for improved accuracy potential
- Full-length Picatinny top rail with M-LOK slots on sides and bottom
- Compatible with AR-15 platform rifles in multiple calibers
- Anti-rotation tabs prevent handguard movement during use
- Heat-resistant finish withstands sustained firing schedules
- Machined from single billet for structural consistency
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F without dimensional changes affecting zero retention. The extended length supports precision shooting applications, competition use, and tactical configurations requiring forward accessory mounting. Stainless steel material maintains structural properties under rapid heating and cooling cycles that can affect aluminum alternatives.
