YANKEE HILL MACHINE SLR Quad Series AR-15 Carbine Handguard (YHM-5110)

The S.L.R. (Slim, Light, Rail) series of handguards were designed to address the two main customer requests regarding YHM's other handguard models. The number one request was to make a thinner handguard. Both versions are slimmer than YHM's current handguards, the smooth being more than 5/8" thinner than YHM's current quad rail design! The second most common request was to design a handguard that would accept most aftermarket piston systems. The profile of the S.L.R. allows for most piston systems to be used while maintaining a top rail that co-witnesses with the upper receiver.

Yankee Hill Machine also redesigned the top rail so that when installed it creates one continuous picatinny rail between the upper receiver and the handguard. Also redesigned is YHM's method for attaching the handguard to the receiver. NO EXTRA TOOLS ARE NEEDED to install the S.L.R. handguards! The smooth (customizable) version allows you to mount accessory rails to the sides and bottom if you desire using the same Customizable Forearm Rails that YHM currently offer.
