Making a free-floating handguard for an AR-10 rifle includes changing the usual handguard with a free-floating mannequin that doesn’t contact the barrel. This enhances accuracy by eliminating the potential for the handguard to place stress on the barrel and have an effect on its harmonics.
Free-floating handguards supply a number of benefits, together with improved accuracy, higher warmth dissipation, and the power to mount equipment like bipods and vertical grips with out affecting barrel harmonics. Traditionally, gunsmiths achieved free-floating handguards by intensive trial and error, however at this time, pre-manufactured free-float handguards are available.
