The Detail Work
The Rossi Brawler's factory forend gives you a place to hold the gun and nothing else. There's no way to set it on a tripod, and nowhere to mount a light or a hand stop. This handguard replaces it with an ARCA rail along the bottom, one M-LOK slot in that rail and three M-LOK slots on each side. ARCA is a dovetail rail standard for tripod clamps and quick-releases, and this rail is ARCA-Swiss compatible, so it clamps straight into a standard ARCA clamp with no extra plate. When you're glassing from a blind or settling in for a long shot off the tripod, the Brawler sits locked in the clamp so you can glass without holding the gun. It's the extended version of our Rossi handguards, the longest of the three at 5.25 in. (133 mm), about 1.5 in. (38 mm) wide, and it weighs 2.8 oz (80 g). It fits the Rossi Brawler in 5.56 and 300 Blackout. It drops in at the factory mounting points with no drilling, and it comes off again whenever you want the stock forend back. It's made from Nylon-12 and covered by our Limited Lifetime warranty.
- Clamp the Brawler straight into an ARCA tripod head or quick-release, with no plate or adapter in between.
- Mount a light, hand stop or sling point on either side with three M-LOK slots per side.
- Get a longer hold than the shorter Brawler handguards, with more room for your support hand and accessories at 5.25 in. (133 mm).
- Install it at the factory mounting points with no drilling, and go back to the stock forend any time.
- Keep the front end light, at 2.8 oz (80 g) for the handguard.
ARCA Rail on the Bottom
The bottom rail clamps straight into a standard ARCA tripod clamp or quick-release, with no plate in between. The Brawler stays locked in place, so you can glass without holding the gun.
Three M-LOK Slots on Each Side
Three slots per side give you room for a light on one side and a sling mount on the other. One more M-LOK slot sits in the ARCA rail underneath.
Goes On at the Factory Mount
The handguard installs where the factory forend came off, with no drilling. Put the factory forend back on any time and the Brawler is as it came.

Field Manual
Fitment first — everything you need to confirm this product works for you before you buy.
What is an ARCA rail, and what will it clamp to?
ARCA is a dovetail rail standard used by tripod clamps, quick-release clamps and ARCA bipod clamps. The rail on the bottom of this handguard follows that standard, so it slides into a standard ARCA clamp and locks when you tighten the knob or close the lever. You don't need a separate plate or adapter between the Brawler and the tripod. If your tripod head uses a different quick-release system, you'll need an ARCA clamp for it first. Check that your clamp is rated for the weight of your loaded Brawler and optic.
Will it fit my Brawler?
It fits the Rossi Brawler in 5.56 and 300 Blackout. It is built for the Brawler only and won't fit other firearms. It uses the factory forend mounting points, so nothing on your Brawler has to be modified. If your Brawler is in another chambering, contact us before you order and we'll tell you what we know. We're glad to help with any Brawler fit question.
How do I install it?
Remove the factory forend from your Brawler. Set the handguard in its place and secure it at the same factory mounting points. It reuses the factory screws, so no extra hardware is included or needed. There's no drilling, cutting or permanent change to the firearm. Check that it's tight after your first range session. If you ever want the stock look back, the factory forend goes right back on.
How is this different from your other Rossi Brawler handguards?
The difference is the bottom mount and the length. This one has an ARCA rail on the bottom with one M-LOK slot in it and measures 5.25 in. (133 mm), with three M-LOK slots per side. Our Picatinny-bottom handguard is shorter at 3.45 in. (87.6 mm) and our M-LOK-bottom handguard is the shortest at 3.25 in. (82.6 mm), both with two M-LOK slots per side. Choose this one if you plan to shoot off a tripod or want more room for your support hand and more side slots. Choose the Picatinny or M-LOK version if you want the bottom for a hand stop or bipod adapter full time rather than a tripod clamp.
What can I mount on the side M-LOK slots?
The three M-LOK slots on each side take standard M-LOK accessories. A weapon light, a hand stop and a sling mount are common choices. With slots on both sides, you can put a light on one side and a sling mount on the other. Mount accessories with their own M-LOK hardware and tighten to the accessory maker's spec. If you shoot off a tripod, check that your side accessories clear your ARCA clamp before you tighten them down. There's also one M-LOK slot in the ARCA rail for a one-slot accessory such as a hand stop, but a tripod clamp on the rail covers it, so you can't run both at once.
What is the measurement from the front of the handguard to where the threads would start?
This measurement is useful if you are trying to make sure the handguard will still allow a muzzle device or suppressor to fit.
