Lyman® Products Announces New Tacstar® Carbon Fiber AR-15 Handguards with Integrated Sight Rails 

Lightweight and super rugged, the Lyman® carbon fiber AR-15 handguards keep their cool when under fire.

Tacstar®, a leader in tactical accessories and a Lyman brand, is proud to introduce new, highly functional carbon fiber AR-15 handguards with an integrated Picatinny rail. Extremely rugged, carbon fiber offers an unbeatable strength to weight ratio, offering durability and toughness to go along with their light weight and good looks. Unlike handguards made from aluminum or other materials, Tacstar’s carbon fiber handguards stay cool to the touch, even with extensive firing.

Trevor Mullen, VP of Global Marketing and Business Development for Lyman Products, said, “Whether you are a competitor, professional or just enjoy a day at the range, this Tacstar carbon fiber handguard will make a difference in your shooting experience. First, you’ll notice how lightweight it is at just four ounces. Second, after repeated shooting, the handguard stays cool to the touch. And, the integrated Picatinny rail is one less accessory you have to fool with when accessorizing your rifle. The Tacstar carbon fiber handguard is easy to attach and you’ll appreciate its sleek appearance as much as all the other benefits.”

The fully free-floating octagon handguards are equipped with multiple cooling slots and accessory mounting points. The mounting points will accept any M-LOK® style mounting hardware used with accessories, such as slings, bi-pods, lights or vertical grips. Additionally, the handguards are equipped with a forward mounted Picatinny rail to attach sights.

The Tacstar handguard attaches to the rifle using an innovative aluminum mounting sleeve. The sleeve simply clamps over the existing barrel nut. No special tools are required for installation.

Handguards are available in three lengths to cover any standard gas port location:

• 10” Carbine length – MSRP $174.98

• 12” Mid Rifle length – MSRP $199.98

• 15” Full Rifle length – MSRP $224.98
