An A2 handguard is a classic, two-piece polymer handguard designed for AR-15 and M16 rifles with carbine- or rifle-length gas systems. It features heat shields and ribbed texture for improved grip and heat resistance. The A2 handguard works with AR-15 upper receivers, delta ring assemblies, front sight bases/gas blocks, and standard AR-15 barrels. It’s ideal for traditional builds, offering a reliable, lightweight option that fits most standard AR-15 and M16 platforms.
