We are excited to announce the launch of the Minimal Optical Deflection (MOD) 4 handguard. The MOD 4 handguard seamlessly blends robust construction with an ergonomic form factor, ensuring no compromises between the two. This handguard evolution will take your build to the next level.
The primary design philosophy of the MOD 4 is robustness without a cumbersome form factor. By focusing on rigidity in the design of the 6061-T6 handguard and the utilization of a steel barrel nut, deflection under load has been drastically reduced which is instrumental in minimizing POI shift when using an IR laser aiming device. Quality of life improvements are featured in the construction, including a full-length, 7-sided MLOK™ interface and steel-reinforced QD Sockets. These features allow users to customize their build according to their preferences and the steel-reinforced QD sockets are a small but important detail, enhancing the sheer strength of the sockets and ensuring they do not wear prematurely when interfaced with standard steel QD sling attachments.
An additional highlight of the MOD 4 Handguards is the simplification of installation at the barrel nut. By making the barrel nut lug pattern match mil-spec castle nuts, the need for specialty tools has been removed, as has the need for timing. MOD 4 handguards are designed to match seamlessly with our M4E1 Threaded Upper Receivers and components from the PRO series. They are also compatible with Mil-Spec AR-15 receivers, and to add redundancy and ensure a more tailored fit when using third-party upper receivers, two anti-rotation set screws have been included. The MOD 4 handguard comes in three anodized colors—black, Kodiak brown, and OD green—and is available in lengths of 9.1”, 10.6”, 11.4”, 12.7”, 13.5”, and 15”.
Designed, manufactured, and built with pride in Lakewood, Washington, every MOD 4 handguard is backed by our lifetime warranty.
