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

Description

The 12 inch AIR-LOK Series handguard is a heavy-duty, US Made component engineered for the AR-15 platform. Constructed from T6 Aluminum and finished with a durable Anodized Grey coating, this unit provides a rigid mounting environment for accessories. The design features M-LOK Slots on all four sides, allowing for precise accessory placement. The internal structure utilizes triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts to reduce mass while maintaining structural integrity.

Installation utilizes a proprietary barrel nut system. Top Rail slides over the barrel nut and is compressed against the receiver using four screws, creating a tight fit that supports a Monolithic Picatinny Top Rail. This compression lock design ensures Top Rail remains stable under recoil. The unit includes a Proprietary Barrel Nut and features Machined QD Swivel Sockets on the rear ends for sling attachment.

Key specifications include a total weight of 8.5 oz including the barrel nut, an internal diameter of 1.32 inches, and a 12 inch length. The Gen 2 design refines the compression mechanism for consistent clamping force. This handguard is suitable for builders requiring a lightweight yet robust solution for free-floating barrel configurations.
