Luth-AR Widebody Hand Guard: 308 Ready

One of the fantastic things about the AR platform is how customizable it is, and there are a lot of parts on the market to support that. However, some parts stand out above others. The Luth-AR 308 Widebody Hand Guard is one of those. This handguard is designed to be versatile while also providing greater support and a more stable foundation. Those things translate to enhanced accuracy and precision, both of which are important to everyone from precision shooters to hunters to those at the range ringing steel.

Luth-AR says this part was designed specifically for 308 Win AR rifles.  The handguard is made from high-quality, 6061-T6 Aluminum extrusion for durability and longevity. It’s also hard coat anodized black for superior resistance to wear and tear. The barrel nut, which is included, is made from alloy steel with a Melonite finish so it remains secure and solid while withstanding the rigors of serious use.

The handguard measures 15 inches in length and weighs 1.3 pounds, so it won’t add unnecessary bulk to the user’s rifle.  Features include a sleek, ergonomic design that’s comfortable to grip and a wide, flat base for a  secure grip when shooting off-hand. The broad base also creates a more stable base shooting from a rest which can improve accuracy.

According to Luth-AR, the 308 Widebody Hand Guard is a great option for shooters interested in upgrading their rifle with a versatile, sturdy handguard. There are M-LOK slots along the top and bottom of the handguard for the easy addition of aftermarket accessories such as a bipod, weapon-mounted lights, or lasers. The handguard has a matte black finish to reduce glare.
