One of the other upgrades we will be adding in this series are rubber hand guard inserts. The grip of this hand guard is aggressive – the texture is good and it makes for a non-slip surface. The metal hand guards add a little heft to the rifle and of course you now have lot’s of attachment points for a sling and accessories.

While this is not a free floated hand guard solution (that would require tools) it’s really solid and improves the feel dramatically. Just going from plastic to metal is a nice step. The Blackhawk! Quad Rail Hand Guard is a really sweet upgrade.

That’s it! Looks pretty sweet doesn’t it? No hammers and only about 5 minutes to install the whole thing. Where you attach the sling is entirely up to you. There are 4 on the front and 4 more on the back of the rail so you have plenty of potential sling points for your rifle. If you look at the exact center of this photo, you’ll see a hex screw that does not appear to do anything. Do this using the included hex wrench.īlackhawk! includes a neat feature on this quad rail set. Now is the time to use the 4 included hex screws to fasten the two quad rail halves together. Just the friction fit on ours was tight and secure. When you seat the bottom half of the quad rail under the delta ring, the whole assembly should feel pretty solid. The two halves will dovetail together nicely. Repeat the process with the bottom half of the rail set.
Just like before, pull that delta ring down towards the receiver until you can work in the ledge of the Blackhawk! Quad Rail. Slide the top hand guard ledge under the existing hand guard cap as shown until it fits snugly. The new hand guards install just like the old ones. When you mounted that vertical fore grip in position B24 it fit just perfectly right? Now you can take it off for maintenance and make sure it will go back just where you liked it. This makes it easy to remember exactly where you had a piece of gear mounted in the event you ever remove it. Blackhawk wisely labels both the top and bottom halves, but also each mounting groove. While technically it does not matter which of the halves of the Blackhawk! Quad Rail go on the top and bottom, they are labeled accodingly. Not only will you bend the gas tube, you’ll burn the bejeepers out of your hand when the barrel heats up. As tempting as it might be to use it like this, don’t. Piece of cake right? Now you’ve got an AR-15 that looks something like Skeletor. When you pull the delta ring towards the receiver far enough, you’ll be able to remove each half of the existing hand guard as shown in the photo here. It may be tight, so apply a little muscle. Just pull down on the delta ring between the receiver and the forend. While the existing forend may appear to be a “tools required” removal, it’s not.
The first step is to remove the existing hand guard.
The Blackhawk! Quad Rail Forend includes two aluminum rail halves that dovetail together, 4 hex screws for fastening them to each other securely, a hex wrench and a single page of installation instructions. Let’s take a closer look at the installation process: No need to remove the sight block or hand guard cap – just install each half and bolt them together. The whole idea of the two piece quad rail is that it’s a drop in replacement for the standard two piece hand guards. Well, there is one small allen wrench, but that’s included in the box. Unless you stray really far from the simple instructions. The best part about this accessory? No tools required! Not even a hammer. As you’ll see by the close-up photos below, the airflow is great and unrestricted. The Blackhawk! AR-15 Quad Rail Forend is made of aluminum and features at least 3.17 boat loads of vent holes to help dissipate heat during prolonged or rapid fire.
