Basically this a replica of early KAC/Armalite/Cramblit tube handguard used by Delta during the 80s/90/2000s

The designed was originally made for the KAC SR25s, licensed to Armalite for the civilian market in use with match rifles, than modified by Jeff Cramblit for JSOC, with the FSP cut and the inserts for screwing on accessories

Eventually this handguard would evolve into the PRI Mk12 Tube handguard, as well as the KAC RAS and MRE, and later the Daniel Defense RIS II rail

This era of special operations had some specially weird handguards like this and the armalite aluminium tube DEVGRU used, from my previous post, as operators begun to move from the old clamshell handguards after Gothic Serpent and Just Cause, to platforms that allowed both a solid laser mouting option for night use, as well as a free floated barrel for improved accuracy. And at the time the only option for free float handguards with solid mounting were civilian match rifles that had those funky toobs

This is a clone of the AR10 free float tube handguards used by the navy seals in the 90s and early 2000s on their Colt 727s and M4s, with the FSP cut, as well as later on Mk18s with a 7in version

This handguard was used before free float railed handguards became a thing, and offered secure mounting for lasers, mainly PEQ-2s, being a predecessor to the KAC FF RAS and the DD Ris II

Those handguards were modified in the field by taking civilian spec match free float handguards, cutting a slot for the FSP and drilling holes for the pins, as well as adding holes to screw in grips, peq2 mounts, bipod mounts and weaver rails for lights

I modeled both the 12 and a 7in version, and it has holes that can fit up to M5 bolts for your rails, the spacing should be standard for any mlok/pic rail to fit but I'll include some weaver rails eventually

For printing, I split it in 4 sections to make it easier to print on a bedslinger, and the parts are notched for easy assembly and require minimal supports, the threads should also fit any airsoft rifle, I tested it on my standard AEG (Dboys) as well as a Marui and a GBBR

The file is currently available on cults, I'll also be working a Delta Cramblit Style rail and some other retro accessories in the future, also no AI was used in the creation of this project, all you see was made by yours truly with a lot of research and attempting to be as close to the real stuff as possible
