Product Details

An upgrade to AR15/M4 firearms with carbine-length gas systems, the MOE SL Hand Guard provides a variety of accessory mounting options for greater operational flexibility in a narrower footprint. Its ergonomic shape improves handling and control, and the integral riveted aluminum heat shield combines with the reinforced, heat-resistant polymer design to protect against high temps during firing. Only compatible with firearms that include an A2 front sight assembly and a round front hand guard retaining cap.

Made in the USA.
