NcStar VMARKMC 6.5" Keymod Handguard Carbine Length Aluminum Black Anodized for AR-15/M4

The NcStar VMARKMC is a carbine-length Keymod handguard built for AR-15 and M4 platforms. At 6.5 inches, it bridges the gap between compact and mid-length fore-end setups, offering enough real estate for grip and accessory mounting without the bulk of a rifle-length system. If you're building a short-barrel AR, modernizing a patrol carbine, or just want a streamlined handguard with solid accessory compatibility, this aluminum handguard delivers a straightforward upgrade.

Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the VMARKMC is built tough enough for the range and field. Keymod mounting means you can attach lights, foregrips, sling mounts, and rail segments exactly where you need them—and swap them out without tools. The 6.5-inch length keeps your overall setup compact while still giving you real estate to work with.

This is the kind of no-frills, reliable handguard that works. No marketing fluff, just proven design and aluminum construction that handles whatever you throw at it.
