Give your AR-15 carbine a clean, lightweight, modular upgrade with the Firefield Edge 6.62" 2-Piece KeyMod Handguard (Model FF34053). Machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a tough black matte anodize, this compact carbine-length, two-piece KeyMod rail delivers secure accessory mounting, improved cooling, and a slim, ergonomic profile ideal for close-quarters builds, truck guns, or compact home-defense rifles.
Overview — compact, modular, precision-machined
The Firefield Edge 6.62" KeyMod handguard is designed for shooters who want a low-profile, snag-resistant forend that still accepts modern accessories. The two-piece carbine style clamps around the barrel nut/delta ring area and provides a secure fit and simplified installation for many standard AR-15 carbine uppers. KeyMod slots allow you to attach only the accessories you need — lights, vertical grips, sling mounts, pressure switches, or short rail sections — keeping weight down and handhold comfort high.

Engineered Materials & Finish
6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum: Outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and excellent machinability for precise tolerances.
Black matte anodized finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating with low reflectivity for tactical and hunting use.
CNC machining: Consistent slot placement and concentricity for reliable accessory mounting and repeatable alignment.
Key Features & Benefits
Length: 6.62" carbine style — compact footprint for maneuverability and reduced snag points.
Design: 2-piece clamshell construction for easy installation on many AR-15 carbine uppers.
Mounting System: KeyMod® direct-mount slots — lightweight modularity with secure accessory attachment.
Cooling: Open slot geometry and venting improve airflow to help dissipate barrel heat during sustained fire.
Ergonomics: Slim outer diameter for a comfortable grip and natural pointability.
Weight Savings: Minimal material where it isn’t needed reduces overall mass compared with full-length quad rails.
Aesthetics: Clean, low-profile lines that suit modern tactical and hunting builds.
Compatibility & Fitment
Model: FF34053
UPC: 812495023781
Intended Platform: AR-15 pattern rifles with standard carbine-length gas systems.
Two-Piece Fit: Designed to clamp to the barrel nut/delta ring area — verify your upper/barrel nut spec and front-end geometry prior to purchase.
Accessory Compatibility: KeyMod accessories and short Picatinny sections (use appropriate KeyMod to Picatinny adapters where required).
Fitment tip: Because AR-15 uppers and aftermarket barrel nut interfaces vary, always confirm your barrel nut style and gas system length match the handguard’s clamp profile. If in doubt, consult a qualified gunsmith.
Installation — high level
Ensure the firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.
Remove existing handguard per manufacturer instructions and ensure the barrel nut and upper are clean.
Position the two halves of the Firefield Edge around the barrel nut/delta ring and align the indexing features.
Install and torque the supplied fastening hardware per Firefield’s instructions (use threadlocker if recommended).
Mount KeyMod accessories or attach short rail sections as needed; verify clearances and function.
Perform a function check (bolt cycling, safety, gas system) and confirm zero if optics were disturbed.
If you’re unsure about headspace, barrel nuts, or torque specs, have a qualified gunsmith perform the installation.
Typical Uses & Who It’s For
Home-defense carbines & truck guns: Compact length improves maneuverability in confined spaces.
Tactical & duty rigs: Low profile and KeyMod modularity for mission-specific accessory placement.
Hunting & upland rigs: Slim grip and light weight for fast shouldering in the field.
Range & training: Durable, easy to accessorize for lights, grips, and pressure switches used in drills.
Maintenance & Care
Wipe down with a soft cloth after use to remove dirt and fingerprints.
Keep KeyMod slots free of heavy carbon build-up; compressed air or a soft brush works well.
Inspect mounting hardware periodically and re-check torque after the first 50 rounds.
If surface finish is scratched, light touch-up via manufacturer-recommended anodize or protective coating can preserve corrosion resistance.
