Product Overview
Blem ARCA Handguard – Cosmetic Discount, Full Performance
These handguards were separated during QC due to minor cosmetic imperfections from the tumbling process. These are purely visual and do not affect function, fit, or structural integrity in any way.
Each unit meets our full performance standards—only the surface finish falls short of what we’ve become known for.
These will be perfectly suited for PRS, Gas Guns Show, Quantified Performance, 3 Gun, and Multi-Gun Matches where they will inevitably get tossed around.
What to expect:
- Small metallic dings or surface marks
- Fully functional, in-spec components
The anodizing helps blend most imperfections, but the finish will not match our typical cosmetic standard.
Finish Options
- Standard: Ships Black Anodized
- Optional Cerakote:
- Selecting a Cerakote color will apply a full coating to the handguard
- This may reduce or fully hide most cosmetic blemishes
- Adds 2–3 week lead time
Note: There is no need to select Black Cerakote unless you are specifically trying to match other Cerakoted components.
