Reptilia’s ARCA section allows end users to mount directly to a tripod with ease.

The Bottom Line

The ARCA-S handguard from Reptilia offers end users a level of functionality that was previously unavailable to them. The new handguard, with the inclusion of an ARCA interface, expands what is possible for the end user. This functionality allows the end user to expand its use case to more situations than ever before. Reptilia’s handguard elevates the flexibility of what a Recce build can do.

The ARCA-S handguard is designed to thrive on a 13.7–14.5” scope carbine/Recce build. This handguard from Reptilia allows end users greater versatility for more diverse implementation of the build across various situations and environments. This flexibility is a design bonus for law enforcement and federal agencies attempting to maximize effectiveness of their rifle build. Giving users the theoretical the ability to bridge GPR and Recce build into one. An end user could easily transition from a prone shooting position on bipods to an elevated position with a tripod with ease and fluidity.

In the future, Reptilia plans to produce an 11.5” variant of the ARCA-S handguard, which would be optimal for a 12.5” build. This could push the limits of what an SBR/scope carbine could accomplish. For more on Reptilia’s ARCA-S handguard, click here.
