Brigand Arms Blade: Light Weight Carbon Fiber Hand Guard ~ VIDEO

By Mike Searson

Mike Searson reviews the stupid light, braided carbon fiber, Brigand Arms Blade Handguard, that recently hijacked his latest custom AR build.

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- One of the heaviest components on an AR system can be the rail. When the Picatinny rail system debuted it seemed like a Godsend. Shooters could easily outfit their rifles with lights, lasers, scopes, IR illuminators, night vision, forend grips, back up sights and everything but the kitchen sink.

There was a problem, though. The rails were heavy and so were the add-ons.

Manufacturers responded with M-Lok, Key-Mod and other systems that did away with unnecesarry rail space and allowed users to customize their rifles with only the accessories they needed.

There was still a problem. The weight was more than it needed to be.

Most shooters did not want to take a step back to plastic handguards and a barrel nut that gave up the ability to free float on a minimalist rifle.

Thankfully other companies were looking at a stronger and more rigid material that could give the shooter free float and do away with the unwanted weight.
