  • The 1.78" inside diameter is designed to fit most muzzle devices and 1.5" suppressors, but larger accessories may not clear.
  • It is compatible with low profile gas blocks, so builds using other gas block profiles may require a different handguard choice.
  • M-LOK modularity and the continuous top rail offer flexibility, but accessory placement still depends on the specific configuration you plan to run.
