Getting Started on Your Next Build? Go Sleek and Lightweight with our Billet Upper and SPEAR M-LOK Handguard.

This Upper Group Uses a 15 Inch Handguard with Magpul Flat Dark Earth Cerakote

The slim free-float design of the SPEAR handguard enhances accuracy while minimizing the weight of your rifle, M-LOK attachment slots and included rail section provide unlimited options for accessorizing your build. Our billet upper matches the contours of the handguard perfectly, for a monolithic look in 3 different finishes.

With 12” or 15” lengths available, the SPEAR handguard is ideal for starting your next AR-15 build or upgrading an existing firearm. And with our selection of barrels, gas blocks, muzzle devices, bolt carrier groups, and charging handles, you can get the custom upper you need at the right price.

Lightweight & Durable

  • Slim and lightweight M-LOK design, with attachment points at the 3, 6, & 9 o’clock positions and lightened Picatinny rail at the 12 o’clock position
  • Durable 6061 aircraft aluminum alloy construction – designed to take a beating
  • Picatinny top rail perfectly aligns with the included billet upper, with matching finish and lines for a monolithic look.
  • Handguard uses screws to clamp around the barrel nut, with anti-rotation tabs and anti-slip screws that ensure a rock-solid lockup
Anti-Rotation Tabs prevent shifting after taking hard impactsThe AT3 Spear handguard locks up solidly with the billet upper receiver

 

Easy to Install

  • Installs clean and secure with only a few simple steps – all you’ll need is a torque wrench, vise block, and vise. Click here to view our instructions.
  • Seriously, it’s easy. Torque down the barrel nut, slip the handguard over and tighten down the screws. No need for special plates or adhesives for a rock-solid fit
  • Perfect for assembling a new upper build – be sure to check out our selection of upper receiver components for completing a custom job!
  • Once you’ve got everything installed, you’ll have plenty of room for M-LOK accessories and adapters.

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)

Note: 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.

Absolute Perfection

I am absolutely blown away at this combo. It is sleek, clean, and operates flawlessly. I have it coupled with a 10” BA barrel, Mach 3 compensator, and an APF folding lower. Will definitely be buying more for future builds.

Quality combo set

The upper & Lower fit seamlessly together and almost have the appearance of a monolithic upper, the upper fits well on my mil spec lower with very little slop, my build runs well with no issues. My only qualm is the finish, when in the sun, the black finish has a slight purple sheen to it. BUT this is extremely noticeable when wearing sunglasses, the gun almost looks two-tone with a black lower & purple upper, this is only noticeable in direct sunlight. The finish is also a little rough in terms of texture and not smooth, this causes the upper to not match any of my black lowers obviously because they all have a smooth black nitride finish. So I am a bit unsatisfied as a result but not a deal breaker. The discrepancies aren't noticeable to the average joe

Slick Side

Love the upper. Find the discharged casing odd however. Flips casing back and scratches upper.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our AT3™ AR 15 Upper Receiver and SPEAR Handguard Combo. We appreciate your feedback and will work to improve the design of our products.
