Rails and Handguards

Enhance your AR-15 with our premium selection of rails and handguards at Western Sport. The handguard, also known as the forend, is a crucial component of your AR-15, providing a secure grip and protecting your hands from the heat generated by the barrel. Our collection includes a variety of handguards and rail systems designed to improve the functionality, accuracy, and customization of your firearm.

Free-Float Handguards

Free-float handguards are designed to enhance the accuracy of your AR-15 by not making contact with the barrel. These handguards attach only at the barrel nut, allowing the barrel to “float” and reducing the impact of external forces on barrel harmonics. Our free-float handguards come in various lengths and styles, including options with Picatinny rails, M-LOK, and KeyMod systems for versatile accessory mounting.

Drop-In Handguards

Drop-in handguards are the most common and easiest to install. These handguards consist of two pieces that fit around the barrel and are secured by a handguard cap and Delta Ring assembly. While they are often more affordable, drop-in handguards can sometimes affect accuracy due to contact with the barrel. However, they provide a straightforward solution for those looking to upgrade their AR-15 without extensive modifications.

Picatinny, M-LOK, and KeyMod Systems

Our handguards feature various mounting systems to suit your customization needs:

  • Picatinny Rails: The Picatinny rail system is a classic and widely used mounting option, featuring raised bars that create slots for easy attachment of accessories. It is known for its versatility and durability.
  • M-LOK: Developed by Magpul, the M-LOK system uses negative space (slots) for mounting accessories, making it lighter and slimmer than Picatinny rails. M-LOK handguards offer a sleek and modern look while providing robust mounting options.
  • KeyMod: The KeyMod system features keyhole-shaped slots for mounting accessories. It is another lightweight and modular option, allowing for easy customization of your AR-15.
