The AT3 SPEAR™ is our best, most secure handguard. Simple to install, lightweight, and easy on the wallet.

The slim free-float design enhances accuracy while minimizing the weight of your rifle. M-LOK attachment slots and included rail section provide unlimited options for accessorizing your build. And with an available Billet Upper to perfectly match the slim profile, the SPEAR (Slim Profile Ergonomic Adjustable Rail) creates a unique look to set your rifle apart.

With 9″, 12”, or 15” lengths available, the SPEAR handguard is ideal for customizing your next AR-15 build or upgrading an existing rifle. If you’re starting from a stock rifle, make sure you purchase a Low Profile Gas Block with the handguard.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Will this fit my AR-15?

The SPEAR is specially designed for use with our matching Billet Upper Receiver as well as the majority of mil-spec AR-15’s on the market. In most instances, it will also require the use of a low-profile gas block that fits underneath the rail.

This product will not work with non-milspec upper receivers like the Bushmaster Carbon due to the non-standard barrel threads, and it is not compatible with most piston kits as they won’t fit under the handguard. Additionally, this rail will not work with gas blocks that are irregularly shaped or exceed 1.3 inches in height or width.

We’re always glad to verify the fit for your rifle, just contact us! And if it doesn’t fit, we are glad to return it for you. And if you’re new to AR-15, we recommend watching a couple of the videos on our installation video page to understand how the process works.

Want to see the SPEAR in action? Check out FreedomLover’s Review!

What tools and additional parts are required?

For parts – most setups will require a low profile gas block.

For tools – we recommend:

  • A vise and non-marring vise block for holding the upper
  • A torque wrench to assure you stay in the AR-15 barrel nut torque range while timing the barrel nut (30-60 ft lbs)

AT3 15” Spear handgaurd

I bought the Spear 15” handgaurd in OD green. I was very pleased how it mated to the AT3 slick side upper that I bought. The handgaurd has anti-rotation tabs that fit in the upper perfectly. I really like when the manufacturer includes these. On this specific setup it looked excellent while functional at the same time.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you are pleased with your AT3 15' Spear handguard in OD green and that it fits perfectly with your AT3 slick side upper. We always strive to provide functional and aesthetically pleasing products for our customers. Thank you for choosing AT3!

9” FDE hand guard

Just built a new 7.5” ar pistol. Multicam and FDE was the theme. Had trouble finding a short FDE setup for that 7.5”
Barrel. With muzzle device now installed the look came out perfect! Great fitting and looking handguard! Highly recommend 👍

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that our 9' FDE hand guard was the perfect fit for your 7.5' AR pistol.

Great quality

The rail is of great quality and at a very affordable price. I ordered the 9 inch burnt bronze rail to go with my ballistic advantage 10.5" barrel and it looks and fits perfect. I went with this rail because it has the anti rotation tabs. I will definitely come back if i do another build

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you are satisfied with your purchase!
