Hoplite EDGE | Low-Profile Handguard

$199.00$269.00

The Hoplite is the latest evolution in Brigand Arms low-profile handguard design – providing improved grip ergonomics while maintaining high strength. Built with the molding techniques we perfected for Carbon Black, the Hoplite comes in lengths from rifle length to as short as 4.25 inches – perfect for a PCC or AR-15 pistol build. The low profile design of these handguards reduces mass while maintaining a comfortable grip and polished look. It mounts to any AR-15 / M4 receiver using our (included) proprietary mil-spec hard anodized aluminum barrel nut, and includes multiple M-LOK mounting slots, to accommodate any accessory. Barrel nut threads are compatible with all M4 style upper receivers: .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, 9mm PCC, 300 blackout, 6.5 Grendel, and more. The handguard does not require timing during installation – this is especially helpful for pistol-length barrels to maintain alignment despite unusual torque specs.

Like all Brigand Arms carbon fiber parts, these handguards are molded and polished, never sanded: this ensures the internal fibers are never broken so the natural sheen and strength of the carbon fiber is visible in the material. The carbon fiber handguards are conditioned for thermal stability after molding to ensure that front iron-sights and other aiming accessories remain accurate at any rate of fire.
