Recreate an American Classic with the Brownells M16A1 Handguard Set, built to accurately replicate the original handguards issued to thousands of American servicemen and women. This Handguard Set is modeled directly off of original handguards, which are becoming increasingly difficult to find in decent condition. The Left and Right Handguard halves include aluminum heatshields, protecting your hand and the handguards from barrel heat.
Featuring a 12-inch length and constructed from polymer with a drop-in design, this set delivers authentic period-correct styling for your build. The green finish is proper for early Model 601 rifles, the first AR-15 adopted by the US Air Force in 1959. Combine the Handguard Set with the matching Pistol Grip and Buttstock Assembly from Brownells to create a complete new condition furniture set for your AR-15, M16, M16A1 or other early model rifle.
Handguards include instructions and heatshields, ensuring straightforward installation. Note that Retro furniture from Brownells is not an exact copy of original components or their construction, with some areas modified due to manufacturing methods or to mitigate counterfeit concerns.
