Forearm (firearm component)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In firearms, the forearm (also known as handguard or forestock) is a section of the weapon between the receiver and the muzzle. It is used to hold the firearm steady and is usually made out of wood or composite material.
Some forearms are equipped with heat shields to protect the user from the heat radiating from the barrel.
