Faxon Carbon Fiber Handguard

The Faxon Streamline Carbon Fiber Handguard represents a collaboration between Faxon's innovation and engineering prowess with Lancer Systems' carbon fiber expertise, resulting in one of the lightest and most thermally efficient handguards available for the AR-15 platform. Weighing just 7.99 ounces with steel barrel nut (6.71 ounces for the 15-inch handguard alone), the Streamline achieves weight reductions that make a noticeable difference in rifle balance and handling. The carbon fiber construction is 10 times stronger than aluminum while being 40 percent lighter, creating an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.

The Streamline's standout feature is its exceptional heat insulation properties - the carbon fiber material dramatically reduces heat transfer from barrel to handguard, keeping the shooter's hands safe even during extended strings of fire. User reports confirm heat transfer is almost nonexistent even during 100-round mag dumps, a remarkable achievement that aluminum handguards simply cannot match. The handguard features eight complete M-LOK facets for mounting accessories, with a steel barrel nut and locking system creating a free-float design that locks tight to the receiver for improved accuracy potential.

Real-world feedback consistently highlights the Streamline's transformative effect on rifle handling and its remarkable heat management. The dramatic weight reduction moves the rifle's center of gravity rearward, improving balance and reducing front-end weight for faster target transitions and less fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The carbon fiber construction provides excellent vibration dampening characteristics that can contribute to improved accuracy. At premium pricing, the Faxon Streamline Carbon Fiber handguard targets weight-conscious builders and suppressor users who need the absolute best heat insulation available.
