AR-15 Handguard: 7″, 9.25″ and 15″ M-LOK

One Horse makes three slim M-LOK AR-15 handguards, each with a steel barrel nut and a hardcoat anodized finish. Here’s how to pick a length for your barrel.

Key takeaways

  • Three lengths: 7″, 9.25″ and 15″, all M-LOK.
  • Same build: slim profile, steel barrel nut, hardcoat anodized finish.
  • Match your barrel: One Horse runs 7″ on 7.5″ barrels and 15″ on 16″ barrels.
  • Ships to you. A handguard is a part, so no FFL dealer is needed.

The basics

What an AR-15 handguard does

The handguard covers the barrel and gas tube and gives your support hand somewhere to go. An M-LOK handguard also gives you slots to mount a grip, light or sling point.

All three One Horse handguards share the same build: a slim profile, M-LOK slots, a steel barrel nut and a hardcoat anodized finish. The difference is length.

Mind the gas block

A handguard that covers the gas block needs a gas block that fits under it. Check your gas block before you pick a handguard.
