LaRue Tactical 9.0" Handguard LT15-9
9.0 inch free-floating handguard with LaRue Locking System.

Excellent choice for short rifles in the 10"-16" range. The 9.0's length stops just past 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 .854lb
  • 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

    I picked up one of these and I love it so far. I doubt this will ever move anywhere after installation. It's got a smart mounting system and is pretty lightweight. This one is long enough to cover the low profile gas block on my carbine, so it gives it a clean appearance with a little more real estate for mounting accessories than your typical quad rails that go just short of the front sight/gas block area. Sling swivel holes in the design is also smart and I look forward to picking up the sling swivel for it to complete this setup.

    Great rail. It's LaRue, so I expected nothing less. Easy install and a nice close fit to the barrel to keep the hanguard from feeling bulky. Highly recommend.

    Please Supply these instructions to your professional Gunsmith

     


    Handguard Rail
    Handguard Nut
    Barrel Nut
    Spacer

    Keeper(anti-rotation device)
    8-32 x .80 SHCS 2ea.

    Tool Requirements
    · Armorer’s wrench · Action Block · Punch Set · Moly Grease · 9/64 L Hex wrench · Strap Wrench
     


    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

    4. Install the Spacer.

    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.
