A2 Rifle length Hand Guard

Description

Replace your factory rifle-length handguard with the IMI Defense^™ A2 Rifle Length Hand Guard — a durable USGI-style handguard built for reliable fitment, classic A2 styling, and improved heat protection.

Made from tough fiberglass-reinforced, injection-molded polymer, this handguard delivers strong impact and abrasion resistance while maintaining a lightweight, traditional rifle profile. The ridged gripping surface and top/bottom ventilation holes preserve the authentic military-style look while helping manage heat during extended use.

An internal lightweight aluminum heat shield helps protect your support hand from barrel heat, while the high-temperature resistant polymer compound provides added durability in demanding conditions.

Designed for AR15, M16, and M4 platforms with an A2 rifle-length gas system, this handguard installs quickly with no gunsmithing required and fits rifles with a triangular end cap.
