A modular integrated powered hand guard and accessory mount system for a firearm has at least one electrical bus bar for electrically connecting a power source and a powered accessory each secured to the hand guard body. The hand guard body is releasably securable to a firearm, and has at least one dovetail rail. An electrical bus bar received within the hand guard body extends longitudinally between ends of the hand guard body adjacent to the dovetail rail. The electrical bus bar has electrical sockets that are accessible through openings formed in the hand guard body. An accessory mount is configured to engage the dovetail rail, and has a pivotable L-shaped electrical connector for providing an electrical connection from a socket of the electrical bus bar to a powered accessory. A power supply assembly allows a user to connect a battery to a socket on the electrical bus bar.
