The NcStar KeyMod Free-Float Handguard (brand part number VMARFFKMC) is a 10-inch, octagon-shaped AR-15/M4 handguard machined from Black anodized aluminum for a low-profile, lightweight fit. NCStar cuts seven sides of KeyMod slots around the body and adds a Picatinny top rail at AR-15 receiver height with laser-engraved T-slot numbers, so accessories index consistently every time. The kit includes a barrel nut, a handguard adapter insert, and short and medium KeyMod-to-Picatinny accessory rails; installation requires a low-profile gas block and an AR-15 barrel nut wrench. It weighs 11.3 ounces with both accessory rails installed, or 8.8 ounces without them.
