The handguard is the most visible and most handled part of a rifle: the one you choose will define the style, weight, ergonomics, and performance of your AR-10 or AR-15 firearm. Ultra-lightweight is only the starting point for what our NOAX handguards offer. Aerospace carbon fiber make this guard stronger than aluminum at below half the weight. The lattice structure provides a solid and repeatable grip and allows versatile accessory mounting at almost any angle. It insulates your forehand and provides airflow ensures superior barrel cooling rates for accuracy even in sustained fire.\u00a0 For precision shooting, our free-floating barrel nut puts no pressure on the barrel and will never change your point of impact. We know that\u2019s a lot to promise, that\u2019s why we back these claims with our industry leading warranty. We offer the NOAX handguard in lengths from 7\u201d to 15\u201d to match your shooting style and rifle setup. The carbon lattice material is complemented by our deep-black hard-anodized aluminum end-caps which allow easy mounting to your upper receiver and protect the leading edge from impact.<\/p>\n

The EDGE<\/a>, BLADE<\/a>, and ATLAS<\/a> models are all built with our precision NOAX material and vary only in the forward end-cap. EDGE provides a flat cut for classic style or to align with a silencer. BLADE provides an angular cut to help exhibit your barrel or for compensator and front sight clearance. While M-LOK and Picatinny can be mounted anywhere along the handguard with our backing plates, ATLAS provides a quad Picatinny rail and a sling stud for users who expect to always run accessories.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the box? All Brigand Arms handguard orders include our lightweight barrel nut which replaces your existing barrel nut. We always recommend you talk to a gunsmith about installation, but we have tutorials for both AR-10<\/a> and AR-15<\/a> installation. If you\u2019re frequently working on your AR build, we recommend our ultra-compact BAAR armorer\u2019s wrench<\/a>. Like most free-floating handguards, all Brigand Arms guards require a low-profile gas block. We recommend Faxon<\/a>\u00a0for a simple lightweight gas block and Aero Precision<\/a>\u00a0for adjustable gas blocks.<\/p>\n

If you have followed Brigand Arms for a while, you might be thinking \u201cThis material looks different than the last time I saw it\u2026\u201d You\u2019re right!\u00a0 In 2021 our fabrication process was re-designed to give our team complete control over the manufacturing process. We call our new material \u201cNOAX\u201d (pronounced \u201cNO-axe\u201d) to differentiate from the former braided \u201cOACS\u201d or \u201cO-ACS\u201d material. Every NOAX handguard is built in Birmingham, Alabama by specialized machines developed for that purpose. This new material is stronger than ever, enables more precise accessory mounting, and now has a sleek dark graphite appearance and smoother texture. All orders placed after December 1, 2021 are built with this new material.<\/p>\n

To get the most out of your O-ACS handguard purchase, consider adding our Picatinny<\/a>\u00a0or MLOK<\/a> accessory mounts.<\/p>\n
