The TacFire M-LOK Free Float Handguard is a 7-inch, black AR-15 handguard from TacFire (brand part no. HG26-7), part of the company’s Advanced Combat Engineering (A.C.E.) series. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a Class 2 Type III black hard-anodize coating meeting MIL-A-8625 specifications, it adds modern M-LOK real estate to a carbine build without sacrificing durability. The free-float design keeps the barrel isolated from handguard-mounted accessories, helping preserve accuracy when optics, lights, or grips are added. It’s a straightforward upgrade for shooters refreshing an AR-15 upper who want a rugged, accessory-ready handguard.

Key Specifications
