12″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) (Anodized Gold)

Description

Engineered for the experienced AR-15 builder, this 12 inch AIR-LOK Series handguard utilizes a Gen 2 compression lock design to secure a monolithic Picatinny top rail. The system slides over the barrel nut and compresses against the receiver using four screws, creating a rigid, tight fit that enhances structural integrity without the need for traditional barrel nut threading interference. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, the handguard features a durable Anodized Gold Finish and includes a proprietary barrel nut to ensure proper fitment and tension.

Modularity is maximized with M-LOK Slots distributed across all four sides of the handguard, allowing for the attachment of accessories without compromising the structural strength of Top Rail. To reduce overall weight while maintaining durability, the body incorporates triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts throughout its length. The internal diameter is specified at 1.32 inches, providing adequate clearance for various barrel profiles and gas systems.

Convenience is addressed with Machined QD Swivel Sockets located on the rear end of the handguard on both the right and left sides, facilitating quick sling attachment. The total weight, including the proprietary barrel nut, is 8.5 oz, offering a balance between robust construction and manageable mass. Manufactured in the USA, this component is built to precise specifications for reliable performance in custom builds.
