The Stern Defense 15-inch Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Handguard for the AR-15 (Stern Defense part no. 002SDHG15) is a free-float handguard machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in a durable anodized coating. At 15 inches long, it gives builders extended rail space for lights, optics, and other accessories while free-floating the barrel for consistent harmonics and improved accuracy over a drop-in, barrel-contact handguard. It’s built to mount to standard AR-15 upper receivers and is a common upgrade for shooters extending an existing build’s accessory real estate or replacing a factory handguard on a new build.
