BCM Raider-M13 M-LOK Handguard 13", Black - Durable, Versatile Handguard - RAIDER-M13-556-BLK

With a legacy spanning 60 years of continuous service, the AR15 platform has evolved significantly to enhance user survivability. A pivotal advancement came with the introduction of the MIL-STD-1913 rail, commonly known as the picatinny rail. This standardized rail system revolutionized the attachment of accessories such as red-dots, variable power scopes, thermal electro-optics, white lights and lasers. These enhancements enable positive identification, de-escalation of situations and ultimately, more accurate engagement in critical encounters. However, these life-saving improvements came at the cost of increased weight for individual platforms. Recognizing this challenge, BCM pioneered modular rail systems starting with the Jack Carbine in 2012 and later with the ultra-light KMR (KeyMod Rail System) in 2014. The KMR's unique design strikes a balance between weight reduction, rigidity and capability, ensuring consistent zero retention for handguard-mounted electro-optics and lasers. The MIL-STD-1913 rail remains unparalleled in durability and reliability for mounting mission-critical equipment. Reflecting this commitment to versatility and performance, the BCM RAIDER features strategically positioned picatinny rail interfaces at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, along with an uninterrupted 1913 rail on the top of the handguard. Furthermore, the handguard incorporates ports designed for pass-throughs, facilitating secure attachment of vital equipment using zip ties or Mil-Spec cording. In essence, the BCM RAIDER embodies BCM's dedication to enhancing AR15 functionality with innovative solutions that prioritize operational effectiveness, durability and adaptability in dynamic environments.
