Specs at a glance
About this product
The F1 Firearms X7M AR15 Contoured 15in Black Handguard provides a mounting platform for accessories and protects the barrel on an AR-15 rifle. This rail system is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, a material chosen for its balance of strength and light weight. The manufacturing process involves CNC machining, which helps ensure consistent dimensions and fit. After machining, the handguard receives a Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodized finish. This type of anodizing creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface, which is measured to be between 60-70 on the Rockwell B scale for hardness. This protective layer helps the handguard withstand wear from regular use and exposure to the elements.
