SHOP CASE KNIVESEvery great rifle starts with a foundation. It's the unseen core that holds everything together, the part that transforms a collection of components into a trusted tool. When you choose the Bowden Tactical Patriot Foundation Series HG-7in FFT Handguard, you're not just selecting a piece of aluminum—you're investing in strength, precision, and American craftsmanship. This handguard isn’t a generic part off the shelf; it’s the backbone of your build, forged with pride and designed to perform where it matters most. From the first time you lock it onto your receiver, you’ll feel the difference—rock-solid stability, flawless machining, and the confidence that comes from gear built to exceed expectations.
The Foundation Series offers reliable, modern, and lightweight handguards for American shooters, built to withstand harsh environments. Ideal for the range, field, or home defense, it provides a dependable platform without an inflated price.
Proudly made in the USA from 100% domestically sourced 6061-T6 aluminum, the HG-7-inch handguard offers unmatched strength and durability while keeping weight low. A slim 1.3-inch inner diameter ensures compatibility with most low-profile gas blocks, while precision-engineered M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions adhere to strict Magpul standards—so you can attach lights, grips, and accessories without compromise. Its continuous Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rail and integrated anti-rotation tabs create a seamless, monolithic fit with both forged and billet receivers.
Every detail is designed to enhance performance. The included 2-inch pre-heat-treated 4140 steel barrel nut with a durable nitrided finish ensures a secure, stable connection, while the MIL-A-8625 type III class II hard coat anodizing protects against wear, corrosion, and the elements. The 7-inch length makes it ideal for AR pistol builds or SBRs, offering just enough space for mission-critical accessories while maintaining a compact, agile profile.
For builders who sweat the details, patriots who value American-made gear, and shooters who demand uncompromising reliability, the Bowden Tactical Foundation Series HG-7in FFT Handguard is the rock-solid start your rifle deserves.
