Can a Low-Cost Handguard Beat Out a $500 AR15 Handguard? | AT3 Tactical Cheap VS Expensive

Not all AR-15 handguards are created equal! In this video, we break down the key differences between budget-friendly and high-end handguards—materials, rigidity, barrel nut systems, fit & finish, and weight considerations. Whether you're building on a budget or looking for the best-of-the-best, we’ve got the details you need to make an informed choice.

🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ More expensive handguards use stronger materials (7075 aluminum, steel inserts, or carbon fiber) for better durability.
✅ High-end handguards feature robust barrel nut systems that enhance stability and prevent shifting.
✅ Budget handguards can still perform well but may sacrifice rigidity, finish quality, or long-term durability.
