1. A hand guard assembly reversibly attachable to a firearm, wherein the firearm has external firearm receiver threads and a firearm barrel comprising a firearm barrel longitudinal axis and a firearm barrel front site; wherein the hand guard assembly comprises:
a barrel nut component comprising a barrel nut proximal end, a barrel nut distal end, a barrel nut wall, a barrel nut outer surface and a barrel nut luminal surface, wherein the barrel nut component luminal surface comprises barrel nut threads that match the external firearm receiver threads such that the barrel nut component is reversibly attachable to the firearm receiver; and a grip component comprising a one-piece grip component body having a grip component body longitudinal axis, a grip component body proximal end, a grip component body distal end, a grip component body wall, a grip component body outer surface and a grip component body lumen having a grip component body luminal surface; wherein the grip component body proximal end and the barrel nut component are each configured to be attachable to one another; such that, when the barrel nut component is attached to the firearm receiver and the grip component body distal end is attached to the barrel nut component, the hand guard assembly extends from the barrel nut to a position at or near the firearm barrel front sight to define a generally tubular sleeve that completely surrounds the firearm barrel along the firearm barrel longitudinal axis; wherein, when the hand guard assembly is attached to the firearm, the sole direct contact between the firearm and the hand guard assembly is the contact between the barrel nut threads and the external firearm receiver threads. |
