The Aimpoint Micro Mount with, top, and without the spacer. Because of this it’s generally recommended to use these handguards with MIL-SPEC upper receivers.ĭaniel Defense is offering the handguards in two lengths, 12 and 15 inches, and one size fits all with their Micro mount that, thanks to an included spacer, can provide both an absolute and lower-thirds cowitness with backup sights on rifles with AR-15-height irons. The two-piece barrel nut system is all steel and sports a set of anti-rotation tabs to hold the handguard in place. Naturally they are free-floating rails for the most when it comes to accuracy and are designed to work with standard low-profile gas blocks.

The rails use Daniel Defense’s established Light Rail III barrel nut so it will also be a straightforward upgrade for users looking to trade in their quad rails for a KeyMod handguard. A KeyMod system, the rails, are lightweight and easy to handle. The Slim, Lightweight and Modular rail system was launched earlier this year but until now has only been offered on DDM4v11 series of rifles and pistols. The handguards ship with all the mounting tools.
