New Reptilia Handguard Raises the Bar

This post was originally published on this site.

If you’re looking for a handguard built to take real abuse while keeping your rifle flat-shooting, Reptilia just delivered. Introducing the Reptilia Handguard, a precision accessory designed for professional shooters, law enforcement, and military users who demand no compromises.

What Makes Reptilia Handguards Stand Out

  • Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with MIL-STD Type III hardcoat anodizing to maximize durability and resistance to wear.
  • Uses a proprietary barrel nut and turnbuckle system, delivering rock-solid lockup and consistent alignment—even under harsh conditions where laser zeros or optics must hold steady.
  • The design goal? A slim, lightweight profile that doesn’t sacrifice strength. Low bulk, full-length M-LOK slots, and anti-rotation tabs all work together to keep everything locked down.

Configurations & Finish

  • Available in four lengths: 9.4″, 10.5″, 13″, and 15″
  • Offered in Black or Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finishes
  • Ideal for mounting mission-critical gear (lasers, thermals, optics) without risk of shift or flex

Installation Made Precise

Reptilia also offers a dedicated installation tool: a 304 stainless steel Barrel Nut & Turnbuckle Wrench, laser-engraved with torque specs. This tool is meant to ensure repeatability and precision with every install. It is sold separately.
