When purchasing Hogue or any other brand from eGoods365.com store, you can be sure that (a) you are purchasing from US based company with the most responsive and friendly customer service; (b) an authentic, not a counterfeit and not a refurbished product.
Hogue's AR-15 Free Float 12.5" Overmolded Handguard is built around a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum tube with an anodized matte black finish. A molded layer of non-slip elastomer is applied to the outside of a portion of the tube to provide you with a superior gripping surface. The included free float barrel nut requires the use of a strap wrench or a Hogue wrench in order to ensure that it is torqued to a value between 30-80 ft./lbs. This free float tube is designed to work in conjunction with direct gas impingement system rifles using a low profile gas block. This assembly will not work with gas piston systems.
Fit Determination:
- Determining the length of your gas system: measure the distance from the rear of the gas block to the front of the receiver. If it is approximately 12 ½” it is a rifle length system, if it is approximately 9” it is a Midlength and 7” for a Carbine length.
- 308 Rifles: There are two basic types of 308 "size" AR rifles, often referred to as DPMS or Armalite "compatible" rifles. The parts, magazines etc do not interchange. For an easy way to differentiate between the two styles of rifles, look at the rear bottom of the upper receiver. A DPMS compatible rifle has a rounded edge while an Armalite has an angled edge. We offer a coupler nut for both types. DPMS #15060 with a 1 7/16"-16 TPI and Armalite #15061 with a 1 7/16"-18 TPI.
- Forends work with all barrel types that will work with a standard Delta ring.
- Will not fit rifles with Piston Gas Systems.
- Will fit older model ARs and M-16s with triangular shaped handguard.
- Coupler Nut Torque specs: 30-80 ft/lbs
- Made of 6061 aircraft aluminum with a molded non-slip elastomer layer on the outside.
