an accessory slot defined in the weight;
a firearm accessory disposed external to the handguard and extending through the weight;
a tab included in the firearm accessory and sandwiched between the handguard and the weight; and,
the firearm accessory is configured to be adjustably secured about the weight.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the weight a quick detach mount.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the firearm accessory comprises a tab configured to be adjustably secured about the accessory slot.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the slot comprises a lip forming a channel.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the tab is configured to be movably disposed within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a first configuration.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the tab is configured to be securely sandwiched within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a second configuration.
7. The system of claim 3 , wherein a width of the tab is larger than a width of the channel.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the weight is configured to be attached to the handguard through a quick detach mount formed on the weight.
9. A method for adjusting a weight distribution of a firearm, the method comprising:
attaching a weight to a handguard;
adjusting a position of a firearm accessory about the weight;
providing a firearm accessory having a tab disposed between the handguard and the weight wherein the tab includes a shaft extending out of the weight.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the weight includes a slot defined in the weight and adapted to received a firearm accessory.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the firearm accessory wherein the tab is configured to be adjustably secured about the slot.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the slot comprising a lip forming a channel.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the tab is configured to be movably disposed within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a first configuration.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the tab is configured to be securely sandwiched within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a second configuration.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein a width of the tab is larger than a width of the channel.
16. A system for adjusting a weight distribution of a firearm, comprising:
a weight configured to be attached to a handguard, wherein the weight comprises a slot;
a firearm accessory configured to be adjustable secured about the weight, wherein the firearm accessory comprises a tab configured to be adjustably secured about the slot and wherein the firearm accessory extends from the handguard through the weight;
wherein the tab is configured to be movably disposed within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a first configuration; and,
wherein the tab is configured to be securely sandwiched within the channel between the lip and the handguard in a second configuration.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the slot comprising a lip forming a channel.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein a width of the tab is larger than a width of the channel.
