Abstract
A handguard system of a firearm includes a barrel nut, a handguard, and an adjustable barrel nut locking mechanism. The barrel nut is configured to secure a barrel to the firearm. The handguard includes a pathway, which extends transversely across the handguard. The pathway is configured to receive the adjustable barrel nut locking mechanism. The adjustable barrel nut locking mechanism includes a first wedge member, a second wedge member, and a biasing member. The biasing member is configured to connect the first wedge member to the second wedge member. The biasing member is further configured to incrementally bias the first wedge member toward the second wedge member when the biasing member is actuated. As a result, the first wedge member and the second wedge member are tightened about the barrel nut within the handguard.
