At Charlie's Custom Clones, we're proud to offer this essential component for M16A1 enthusiasts and clone builders. Our M16A1 Handguard Set is a faithful recreation of the original handguards that protected the hands of countless American service members during the Vietnam War and throughout the 1970s.
As original M16A1 parts become increasingly scarce, this reproduction set allows you to complete your build with historically accurate detail. Crafted to closely mimic the original design, each set includes left and right handguard halves, complete with aluminum heat shields to protect both your hands and the handguards from barrel heat.
- Modeled after original M16A1 handguards
- Includes aluminum heat shields
- Comes with installation instructions
- Available in authentic black finish (correct for Model 602, XM16E1, M16A1, and later generation rifles introduced after 1963)
While we've taken care to recreate the look and feel of the original handguards, please note that this is a modern reproduction. Some aspects of the design and construction have been modified to accommodate current manufacturing methods and to comply with regulations regarding counterfeit concerns.
For military rifle enthusiasts and collectors seeking to recreate a piece of American firearms history, this M16A1 Handguard Set is an indispensable addition to your project.
