www.fragoutmag.com 2 EXTENDED HANDGUARD Another module will be extended length handguard. Most of the shooters complained about the length of the legacy handguard. The reasons are quite simple as for most of the people who are more than 18 cm tall, the standard stock and its pull is way too short and it is hard for them to have a proper grip on the rifle. Short handguard also limits the estate to mo- unt additional accessories on the rails. Some items have mounts which would collide with back-up front sights attached to the top rail. New handguard will increase the length of the top rail with seven more sections and there will also be an additional M-LOK slot on each of the sides. Sling QD attachment point will be moved further to the front. The only limitation will be restricted access to the gas block adjustment, but basically in sport rifle nobody changes the po- sitions of the gas block. With new handguards, the ri- fle certainly looks better than with the standard one. In some of the pictures here you are going to notice a GROT rifle with 10.5 barrel and extended handgu- ard configuration. Well, looks pretty awesome but we strongly don't recommend this set up and please don't try it at home. This is going to work properly with a suppressor or blast diffuser only. The handguard will come with three MIL-STD-1913 rail panels attached to the M-LOK slots when neces- sary. www.fragoutmag.com
