The IMI Defense USGI-type replacement for your carbine’s factory-original handguard is made of tough, fiberglass-reinforced, injection-molded polymer that delivers superior impact and abrasion resistance. The ridged gripping surface and top/bottom vent holes retain the weapon’s authentic military look, while an internal heat shield of lightweight aluminum protects your hand from barrel heat. M16 A2 Rifle model is available with standard-issue single heat shields for extra insulation during sustained rapid or full-auto fire. All models fit AR-15/M16/M4 with A2 Rifle-length gas system.
