Who It’s For

This forend is for ranchers, varmint hunters, and anyone who uses an AR-style rifle as a tool. If you need to clear coyotes from the pasture, shoot pests in the hay barn, or just keep a rifle handy for farm chores, this upgrade makes sense. It’s not a competition part – it’s a workhorse.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Lightweight, easy to install, M-LOK compatible, durable polymer, affordable price point.
• Cons: Only fits Retay RA22 rifles – not a universal AR-15 handguard. If you’re running a different brand, this won’t work.

FAQ

Does this forend fit a standard AR-15?

No. This forend is designed specifically for the Retay RA22 rifle platform. It will not fit a standard AR-15 or other brand rifles without modification.

What kind of accessories can I mount with M-LOK?

You can mount any M-LOK compatible accessory – lights, vertical grips, bipods, or sling mounts. Just make sure the screws are tight and you’re good to go.

Is the polymer tough enough for real use?

Yes. Per Retay specs, the reinforced polymer is heat-resistant and impact-resistant. It’s used on their factory rifles and holds up fine in field conditions.

How hard is the installation?

It’s a drop-in replacement. Remove the old forend, slide this one on, and tighten the fasteners. You’ll need a basic Allen wrench or screwdriver. Takes about 10 minutes.

Will this work with a suppressor?

No. The forend is not designed to accommodate a suppressor underneath. It’s a slim profile meant for standard barrel configurations.
