Are all AR-15 rails the same size?
Quad rail handguards typically come in three standard sizes: carbine length, mid length, and rifle length. We now carry a new size called extended length. The size of the quad rail handguard you want to use will depend on the length of the gas tube system on your rifle.
What size handguard do I need?
Most low-profile gas blocks are about 1″ long, so assuming you want the handguard to completely cover the gas block, then your handguard needs to be at least 1″ + 7 5⁄16″ = 8 5⁄16″ long. The nearest commonly-available handguard size is 9″, so you need to shop for a 9″ or longer handguard.
How long should my handguard be AR-15?
The handguard should extend from the front of your upper all the way to the gas port, wherever that hits toward the end of the barrel. So, generally speaking, if you want to change to a shorter or longer handguard rail, you will need to change out your barrel and gas system accordingly.
