Abstract
A handguard assembly system for a firearm is disclosed. The system includes a handguard with an elongate perforated structure extending between a first end and a second end, where the handguard defines a handguard connector on the first end. An interfacing connector attaches to the handguard connector when the handguard is installed on the firearm. When installed on the firearm, the handguard extends over the barrel without directly contacting the barrel, and attaches to the firearm via the interfacing connector and an upper receiver connector on the firearm upper receiver.
