The B5 Systems CAR-15 six hole handguard is a faithful reproduction of the Colt six-hole carbine handguard that rode on U.S. carbines from Vietnam into the mid-1990s — the right piece for builders chasing clone accuracy on XM177-era guns, USAF GAU-series carbines, Delta carbines, Gordon Carbines, early XM4s, and assorted Colt variants from the 1960s through the 1990s. Finding authentic Colt-era originals is a losing game. B5 built these as a clean drop-in replacement that nails the classic look without sacrificing modern durability.
Constructed from high-quality composite materials in the USA, the handguard carries the classic 6-hole ribbed profile and includes a built-in single-layer heat shield. It's available in Black and OD Green — both period-appropriate for the specific era you're building toward. The slim, lightweight profile preserves the original carbine handling feel while holding up to the kind of range use and handling abuse that tends to destroy actual vintage handguards. Specifications: weight 4.4 oz, length 7.13", width 2.46", height 2.46". Whether you're locking in a full retro build or just want the six-hole CAR-15 silhouette on a modern platform, order your B5 Systems CAR-15 handguard from Charlie's today.
