The same vented, free-floating, three piece handguard we use on our popular Varminter Rifle can now be installed as an accuracy improving accessory on your rifle. A finely machined barrel nut and its locking ring replace your existing nut (front sight, gas tube and barrel nut removal required). The tubular aluminum free-floater screws on, and when correct “timing” of the 12 cooling vents is achieved, the locking ring holds it all in position. The center portion of the tube is knurled for a non-slip grip, and a standard stud is included for bipod or sling mounting. All three parts are machined of high quality aircraft aluminum, and black anodize finished to match your rifle.
