Free Float Forearms

Free float forearms are forearms in which the only point of contact between the rifle and the forearm is at the barrel nut. In this configuration, it is the barrel that is free floated, and as such nothing is touching or interfering with the barrel while shooting. With a free floated barrel, the rifle will achieve peak accuracy as the barrel will not be interfered with in any way while shooting. The interference that occurs with a non-free floated setup is slightly different with every shot, which will cause the point of impact of the rifle to change on every shot.

In order to take maximum advantage of a free float forearm, the weapon should not rest on the barrel when shooting. A forearm mounted bipod, or resting the forearm on sandbags etc. is the recommended approach when shooting.

Basic & Modular Free Float Forearms

Basic free float forearms feature no rails and limited or no attachment points for accessories such as bipods and sling swivels. Forearms include YHM free float and White Oak varmint tube. These forearms are simple, light, and provide maximum accuracy. Mid length forearms are 9" long and leave the gas block exposed when used with a mid-gas barrel. Rifle length forearms require a low-profile gas block when used with a mid-gas barrel, and are typically 12" in length.

Modular free float forearms have less integral rail capacity than quad rail forearms. Some modular forearms have no rails at all, while others feature an integral top rail, and most allow attachment of short or full length rail sections. Picatinny rails serve as attachment points for accessories such as tactical lights, foregrips, bipods, and sling swivels.
