The STNGR HWK XL handguard solves the suppressor length problem with a 1.74″ internal diameter that tucks your can inside for a cleaner profile. This handguard works well for suppressed rifles where you don’t want 6-8 inches of can hanging past the muzzle, compact builds prioritizing overall length, and anyone who wants their setup to look clean rather than having a suppressor sticking way out front. The extended length and ID clears most rifle cans while keeping weight at 8.7-9.6 oz, and you get full M-LOK mounting plus QD sockets without the bulk.

What’s New in V2

The V2 update is all about the mounting system. The barrel nut and collar are about 30% longer than the V1, so there’s more contact area and friction holding the handguard in place. That cuts deflection under lateral loads and makes the whole setup stiffer. The longer collar also lets the bottom mounting screws run front to back instead of side to side, which handles side loads better.

How to tell V1 from V2: With the handguard off, look at the barrel nut and collar. The V2 versions are noticeably longer. With the handguard on, look at the mounting screws on the bottom. V2 screws run front to back, and V1 screws run side to side. V1 and V2 barrel nuts are not interchangeable. Need a replacement? Get the HWK XL V2 Replacement Barrel Nut Kit.
