The Luth-AR A2 Drop-In Handguard is a two-piece, 12-inch handguard set built to the classic A2-profile AR-15 rifle-length platform (Luth-AR part no. HGA2). It replaces a worn, cracked, or missing handguard with a factory-pattern fit that drops onto the barrel nut without cutting or fitting. Luth-AR builds these to the original A2 dimensions, so they mount the same way a mil-spec rifle-length handguard always has. It is a simple, direct way to restore or refresh a rifle-length AR-15 build.

Key Specifications

• This handguard measures 12 inches long, matching the standard A2 rifle-length handguard footprint.
• It is built as a 2-piece (top and bottom) set, the same clamshell design used on original A2-profile rifles.
• The drop-in fit is designed to install over a standard rifle-length barrel nut without additional machining.
• It follows the classic A2 handguard profile, so it mounts and sits the same as a factory rifle-length handguard.
