ZEV Technologies Wedge Lock Hand Guard 7.25"

ZEV Technologies Wedge Lock Hand Guard

The Wedge Lock Hand Guard represents a thoughtful evolution in AR-platform accessory design. ZEV Technologies has engineered a mounting system that prioritizes both simplicity and reliability—two qualities that matter when your equipment must perform under demanding conditions.

Design and Construction

Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, this hand guard maintains thin wall thickness without sacrificing strength. The narrow cross-section delivers an ergonomic grip that feels natural in the hand, whether you're at the range or in the field. The free-float design ensures the barrel remains isolated from the hand guard, which promotes consistent accuracy shot after shot.

The Wedge Lock System

The two-piece Wedge Lock attachment system is the standout feature. A stainless steel barrel nut (included) works in concert with the wedge mechanism to create a secure connection that requires only a single screw for installation. This simplicity reduces assembly time and potential points of failure.

Mounting and Customization

• M-LOK Compatibility: Negative space mounting points replace traditional Picatinny rails, providing a smooth, hand-friendly surface while maintaining full customization capability
• Integral Top Rail: One-piece continuous rail for optic mounting and accessory placement
• Anti-Rotation Pin: Integral pin compatible with ZEV billet uppers ensures your top rail stays perfectly aligned
• Low-Profile Gas Block Compatible: Works seamlessly with modern, compact gas block designs

Important Note
