Description

Upgrade your AR15, M4, or M16 commando-length rifle with the IMI Defense™ Aluminum OTS® Picatinny Commando Length Handguard — a rugged drop-in handguard designed to extend usable rail space while fitting over the standard A2 front sight gas block.

Built from durable 6061 aluminum, this handguard gives your rifle a stronger and more versatile accessory platform without requiring gunsmithing or a full free-float conversion. The two-piece clamshell design installs using the standard delta ring assembly, barrel nut, and round front handguard cap for a secure, precise fit.

The OTS® — Over The Sight — design wraps around the front sight post, giving shooters added handguard coverage, improved support-hand placement, and more mounting space for tactical accessories. Full-length Picatinny rails at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions allow secure attachment of optics, lights, lasers, vertical grips, hand stops, bipods, and other accessories, while full-length M-Lok® side slots provide additional modularity.

With its slim 1.8" wide profile, durable aluminum construction, and commando-length compatibility, the IMI Defense™ Aluminum OTS® Picatinny Commando Handguard is a practical upgrade for compact rifle setups that need strength, rail space, and mission-ready functionality.
