Lancer LCH516CXL HandguardOctagon Style made of Carbon Fiber with Black Finish & 13.10" OAL for Sig 516

The Lancer LCH516CXL is a carbon fiber octagon handguard built for shooters who want to lighten their Sig 516 without sacrificing durability or usability. If you're running an AR-platform rifle and tired of the weight penalty that comes with traditional furniture, this 13.10-inch free-float handguard delivers a meaningful reduction in overall system weight while keeping all the tactical functionality you depend on. The octagon profile gives you solid ergonomics under rapid fire and plenty of real estate for mounting gear.

Built with carbon fiber construction, the LCH516CXL tips the scales at just 10.4 ounces—a noticeable savings that translates to easier maneuverability during long days at the range or in the field. The free-float design isolates the barrel from the furniture, which means zero harmonics transfer and cleaner accuracy potential. You get a Picatinny rail along the top for mounting optics or accessories, and the handguard is fully compatible with M-LOK attachment points along the sides and bottom for tactical lights, vertical grips, cable management, or whatever else your setup demands. Black anodized finish resists corrosion and keeps a professional appearance.

This handguard is engineered specifically for the Sig 516, so fit and function are dialed in from the factory. Whether you're building a precision rifle, a duty gun, or a lightweight patrol carbine, dropping in the LCH516CXL is a straightforward upgrade that improves handling without requiring a complete rebuild.
