The Firefield FF34053 Edge Handguard transforms standard AR-15 carbines with a lightweight, modular KeyMod attachment system. This 6.62-inch handguard provides multiple mounting points for accessories while maintaining the compact profile needed for close-quarters applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional plastic handguards, the Edge features 6061-T6 aluminum construction with integrated KeyMod slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The two-piece design allows installation without removing the barrel nut or gas block. The black matte finish resists wear and reduces glare in tactical situations.
