Strike Industries Kvhgbk Handguard Black 6061 T-6 Aluminum 5.59" Long

The Strike Industries handguard for KRISS Vector SDP is a precision-machined upgrade that transforms both the ergonomics and modularity of your Vector platform. Built from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum and measuring 5.59" in length, this free-float design minimizes weight while maximizing rigidity—exactly what you need on a compact, high-recoil platform. Strike's approach here is clean: drop-in installation, straightforward mounting to Vector lower receivers, and serious M-LOK real estate for the accessories that matter to your setup.

What sets this handguard apart is the thoughtful integration with the Vector ecosystem. M-LOK slots positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock give you flexible options for lights, lasers, or hand stops without forcing you into a single ergonomic compromise. The design accommodates suppressors up to 1.90" in diameter and plays nice with Vector CRB shrouds in both square and round profiles. All the hardware you need—M4x8mm set screws, a T20 Torx tool, and Loctite Blue threadlocker—ships in the box, so you're ready to mount straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility matters with the Vector platform, and Strike has been explicit about it. This handguard is purpose-built for the SDP with a 6.5" barrel, where it's a perfect fit. It will also work on 5.5" barrel models provided you're running a linear compensator, silencer, or muzzle device with ports that extend past the front of the handguard. That detail is critical: a bare 5.5" barrel without a muzzle device extending forward isn't recommended with this handguard, so check your setup before ordering.

If you're deep into the Vector ecosystem and want to add real tactical capability without the bulk or weight of larger platforms, this is the foundation piece that opens up your customization options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this handguard compatible with all KRISS Vector models?

This handguard is specifically designed for the KRISS Vector SDP with a 6.5" barrel and is the optimal choice for that configuration. It is compatible with 5.5" barrel SDP/SBR models only when used with a linear compensator, silencer, or muzzle device where all ports extend past the front of the handguard. It also works with Vector CRB and Vector 22 CRB models. A bare 5.5" barrel without a muzzle device extending forward is not recommended with this handguard.

What accessories can I attach to this handguard?

The M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions accept standard M-LOK accessories such as lights, lasers, hand stops, and rail sections. Strike Industries LINK accessories are also compatible. You have flexibility in how you configure the handguard depending on your shooting style and mission.

What's included in the box?

Each handguard comes with four M4x8mm set screws, a T20 Torx tool for installation, and a bottle of Loctite Blue 243 threadlocker to secure your setup. No additional tools or fasteners are needed for a basic drop-in installation.

Will this handguard fit a suppressor?

Yes, the handguard is designed to work with suppressors up to 1.90" in diameter. Depending on your barrel length, the suppressor or muzzle device may need to extend past the front of the handguard for proper clearance and safe operation.
