Unique-ARs, also known by the short hand UAR is bringing something a little different to the range. As you can see, these don't look like your typical utilitarian forends. While they may not be your particular cup of tea, McCall, Idaho based UAR says they are adapting to the new demographics of the “black gun” market. They'll also do custom work, to include your designs and company logos. Here's what they have to say about it: Unique-ARs ability to create a designer handguard with custom colors shows that what was once just a “black gun” can become the new ”tacticamo” or the “Pink Betsy.” Unique-AR handguards do not compromise function for form. They are all free floating, made from durable 6061 t6 aluminum, and come with options to mount rails for accessories. The stock handguards come standard in black, either Cerakote or Anodized. They, also, offer a wide range of custom color options through Cerakote or Anodizing. The stock handguards come in standard lengths of 7, 9, 12, and 15 inches. Custom handguard lengths are up to 20 inches. Each hand guard comes with a proprietary AR-15 barrel nut which can be upgraded to the 308. UAR has the ability to manufacture from single one-offs and as many as 1000+ per month. You can browse designs and learn more about UAR here. UAR will also be at the 2015 SHOT Show at booth #3564.
