Premium AR-15 Handguards & Free Float Rail Systems
Transform your AR-15's capabilities with our premium free float handguards and tactical rail systems. These precision-engineered M-LOK and Picatinny mounting solutions provide versatile attachment points for optics, lights, foregrips, and other accessories, allowing you to customize your weapon to meet specific shooting requirements.
Benefits of Free Float Handguards
Our free float AR-15 handguard systems don't contact the barrel, significantly improving accuracy by eliminating pressure points that can affect barrel harmonics. This design allows your barrel to vibrate consistently with each shot, enhancing overall precision and performance.
M-LOK vs. Picatinny Rail Systems
We offer both M-LOK and Picatinny rail systems to suit different needs. M-LOK handguards provide a sleeker, lighter profile with attachment points exactly where needed, while traditional Picatinny rails offer universal compatibility with virtually all tactical accessories. Both systems deliver exceptional strength and versatility for your AR-15 platform.
As the UK's main supplier of ERGO Grips products, we offer authentic, premium-quality AR-15 rail systems that meet the exacting standards required by both sport shooters and tactical users.
Frequently Asked Questions About AR-15 Rail Systems
What is a free float handguard system?
A free float handguard system attaches only to the barrel nut of an AR-15, allowing the barrel to "float" freely without any contact points from the handguard. This design significantly improves accuracy by eliminating pressure that can affect barrel harmonics during firing. Free float rail systems are the preferred choice for precision shooting and tactical applications.
What's the difference between M-LOK and Picatinny rail systems?
M-LOK is a newer mounting system featuring slots rather than continuous rails, resulting in a lighter, slimmer handguard with a smoother surface. Picatinny rails are the traditional system with continuous mounting surfaces that offer universal compatibility with virtually all accessories. M-LOK systems are generally lighter and more comfortable to hold, while Picatinny systems provide maximum versatility for mounting options.
How difficult is it to install an AR-15 handguard?
Installing a free float handguard on an AR-15 requires some technical knowledge and specific tools like an armorer's wrench and torque wrench. The process involves removing the existing handguard, delta ring assembly, and barrel nut, then installing the new barrel nut and handguard system. While many enthusiasts can complete this installation themselves, those unfamiliar with AR-15 components may prefer professional installation.
Are these rail systems compatible with UK legal firearms?
Yes, our AR-15 handguards and rail systems are compatible with UK legal firearms and airsoft replicas. They're designed to work with various platforms that comply with UK regulations. If you have specific compatibility questions about your firearm, please contact our customer service team for guidance.
