LaRue Tactical 7.0" Handguard LT15-7
7.0 inch free-floating handguard with LaRue Locking System.

Ideal for a replacement for carbine-length rifles using standard front sight bases. The 7.0's length stops just short of a carbine-length gas block, providing true free-float. Our two-pin proprietary barrel nut system with its locking anti-slip plate, sets LaRue handguards apart from the competition. Once properly installed, there is no chance of movement whatsoever. The side and bottom rails are tucked closer to the barrel, keeping the profile narrower and more streamlined. LaRue handguards also include integral QD sling-swivel sockets at the base of each side for convenient mounting 2-point slings. Additionally, our Free-float Rail system provides an excellent heat-sinking feature that pulls throat-damaging heat away from the chamber area. Another heat-sinking benefit is the elimination of pressure-spikes, which some feel is the cause of a large part of pre-mature bolt failures.

Comes complete with Allen wrench, vial of blue Locktite and Instructions.

  • Weighs .742 lb
  • CNC-machined out of aluminum
  • Integral QD sling-swivel sockets on both sides
  • Hard coat anodized, with T-Numbers
  • Low-profile bottom and side rails
  • Special rail cuts allow both mil-issue and standard rail covers

    Im pushing 60 yrs old. Hand guns my whole life. The AR's are a new "sport" for me. Having my own business for 30 yrs I truly appreciate how LaRue conducts business. Having a strong Tool & Die background I am also able to fully appreciate the beauty of there craftsmanship. If LaRue makes it, and your in the market, your search is over. Sorry..... regarding the 7" Handguard. It resides perfectly on my M&P15. And special thanks to "JP" at LaRue for spending a little quality time to "kick start" this new patron into the world of AR's

    Hands down the best rail system on the market today! Easy to install and the mounting components are so far ahead of the competition they're not even close. You can't go wrong with the Larue Tactical 7.0" LT15-7 handguard system. This also proves that the U.S. is still capable of producing the highest quality products in the world today when we set our minds to it. Larue is far and above the rest.

    You won't find a better rail out there. I bought this and installed it with no experience. Several thousand rounds later it still holds strong!

    1. Remove the upper from the rifle. Remove the Handguard. Remove the muzzle device. Remove the front sight base. Unscrew and remove the factory barrel nut and delta ring assembly (you won’t need these)

    Note: On certain Action Blocks, it May be necessary to Dremel® out an area to accommodate the “Keeper” during installation


    2. Next, Place the “Keeper” on the upper receiver, slip on the “Handguard Nut”, then the “Barrel Nut”

    3. Add a small amount of Moly Grease to the receiver threads. The “Barrel Nut” is installed just like any other; you snug it up three times, then torque it until the next gas tube hole aligns correctly

    5. Slip on the float tube and tighten the “Handguard nut”. The tube will align itself with locating pins already in the float tube. Use a strap wrench to get the Handguard Nut” tight.
