🔧 Why Choose a 10” Free Float Handguard?

The 10-inch length is ideal for AR-15 builds with mid-length gas systems, offering plenty of space for lights, foregrips, bipods, and sling mounts—without overextending into the barrel.

Benefits include:

• Improved accuracy by isolating the barrel from handguard pressure

• More real estate for mounting optics and accessories

• Lighter weight and better heat dissipation compared to longer rails

• Clean, tactical look that balances form and function

Whether you're building an SBR, pistol, or just want more control up front, this length offers serious versatility.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What gas system is a 10 inch handguard designed for?
10” free float handguards typically pair with mid-length gas systems, though they may work with some pistol or carbine setups depending on barrel and gas block placement.

What’s better: M-LOK or KeyMod?
M-LOK has become the more popular standard due to broader support and enhanced strength, but KeyMod still has fans for its sleek profile and lighter weight.

Do these handguards include barrel nuts and mounting hardware?
Yes, most of the models we carry include a barrel nut and all necessary mounting hardware. Always check the product description to confirm.

Can I install this myself?
If you’re comfortable working on AR-15s and have a torque wrench, you can install most of these handguards at home. Otherwise, any competent gunsmith can do it quickly.

Is a 10 inch handguard too short for some builds?
It depends on your barrel length and use case. A 10" rail is ideal for 12.5" barrels or shorter. For longer barrels, consider a 12” or 15” handguard to match.
