PLEASE READ THE GUIDE BELOW BEFORE MAKING THE PURCHASE OF THE 308 RAIL

Selecting a Handguard for your AR-10/AR-308/LR-308?

The family of rifles generally referred to as "AR-10"s or "AR-308"s encompasses a variety of rifles from a variety of manufacturers.  Although similar in appearance and function, different rifles may have different upper receiver designs with parts that may or may not be interchangeable.  This situation makes shopping for a free float quad rail or handguard a bit complicated.
 
 
 
AR-10 style rifles have a few different commonly used barrel nut designs (the attachment point for a free float handguard), each of which is compatible only with a free float quad rail or handguard built specifically for that design.  The two most common standards are for the original AR-10 and for the DPMS LR-308.  Both of these standards are now used by a number of different manufacturers.
 
Armalite AR-10 Style Handguards
 
The original AR-10 was developed in the 1950’s by ArmaLite, who still owns the AR-10 trademark and sells the only rifle officially called the AR-10. ArmaLite AR-10 rifles use their own proprietary barrel nut standard which is incompatible with most AR-10/308 derivative rifle models on the market. The thread specifications for the AR-10 barrel nut are 1-7/16” and 18 TPI-3A. Besides ArmaLite, some popular rifle models that have licensed and use this barrel nut design include the Eagle Arms AR-10 the Noveske N6.  Handguards compatible with these rifles are offered by LaRue, PRI, Badger Ordinance and Daniel Defense among others.
 
DPMS LR-308 Style Handguards
 
Rifle maker DPMS would go on to develop their own AR-10 style rifle called the LR-308, with the same general design but with a number of parts incompatible across platforms including the barrel nut/handguard. The barrel nut standard based on the popular DPMS LR-308 has become the most widely adopted on the market.  The thread specifications for the LR-308 barrel nut are 1-7/16” and 16 TPI-
2A. Numerous manufacturers make rifles using the LR-308 barrel nut standard including the Remington R25 and the Bushmaster 308 ORC.
 
*Please note that while the barrel nut standard for the DPMS LR-308 rifles has remained the same, there are two different versions of DPMS upper receiver that differ in the height of the receiver rail.  Upper receivers manufactured before August 2009 have a high profile receiver rail, while upper receivers manufactured after August 2009 have a low profile receiver rail.  Handguards made for the low profile receiver will still fit the older receiver, but the top rail will not align squarely with the receiver top rail.
 
We carrie Made in USA low profile DPMS LR-308 pattern free float Keymod and Mlok rails in a variety of lengths at the lowest prices anywhere starting at just $49.95.  
 
DPMS GII Handguards 
To confuse matters further, in 2014 DPMS released the DPMS GII 308 rifle.  The DPMS GII is likewise, a DPMS made .308 rifle with an AR style design.  However, the GII uses its own proprietary barrel nut standard.  GII barrel nuts are not interchangeable with LR-308 barrel nuts.
 
Other Non-Standard/Proprietary Handguards
 
Besides these standards, several other manufacturers of AR-10 style rifles use their own non-standard or proprietary style of barrel nut including Ruger SR-762 and the Daniel Defense DD5 V1.
 
AR-10/AR-308/LR-308 Free Float Rail/Handguard Compatibility List
To confirm what type of handguard will fit on your AR-10/308 rifle please refer to our AR-10/308 hand guard compatibility list below.  The list is not comprehensive.  If you have any additions or updates, please let us know.  Before purchasing a handguard, we highly recommending confirming compatibility with your rifle manufacturer.

    Nice Handguard Design

    Posted by james parker on 10th May 2020

    The Handguard is well made nice light aluminum. I really like the desigh.I was looking at an Atlas from Aero but they are high profile. My upper receiver is a billetlow profile. i like the ability to wrap my hand around the handguard and not have the top rail bitting into my hand when shooting standing. The timing washers in the photograph were not included with the Handguard. The anodizing is a bit off too. I reminds me of parkerizing a bit too gray for my liking however I was going to Duracoat my rifle anyways so its no big deal to me. For the money its well worth the investment. I have a billet upper receiver that will not allow the locking tabs. I found it hard to locate a 308 low profile Handguard without the locking tabs that fit around bottom of the rail. This one is flat and fits up flush against the upper receiver. If you are not a perfectionist the Handguard is well worth the money.

    Rail impressions for my Diamondback DB-10 308

    Posted by Corey on 21st Aug 2017

    I skeptically ordered this rail for my Diamondback DB-10 .308 rifle. It actually surprised me. Now, it's made pretty decent, except for the barrel nut they give you. It is very "Chines-esque", and no shims are provided to make sure of a tight lock up, and rail alignment with the screws. I did get it mounted straight, and seems to be mostly tight. I have not shot it yet to see if it loosens on me. The rail height did not exactly line up for my style of rifle. Most likely my style of rifle is the high mount pic rail. It's close, but not exact. For the price, it is a great deal. Very light, and seems to be very rigid. As long as your not building or own a competition rifle, I would recommend this product. Just be aware that there is no shims that come with the barrel nut. I'm guessing it's going to come loose on me during extended firing. We shall see. Good product for the money. 4 stars due to no shims. After extended use, I shall post the results.

    Great rail

    Posted by Randy on 21st Aug 2017

    I like the rail, how it looks how it fits, the picatiny rails are to specs and lined up with my upper nicely I've had issues with other budget handguard in that area this one was great and looks great. Only reason for 4 stars is the barrel nut isn't something you can use a standard AR tool on and I couldn't use a torque wrench the way I wanted to. Other than that it's great and great price.
