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

Description

The 12″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard with Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) delivers a rigid, heavy-duty interface for AR-15 builds. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, this component features an Anodized Purple Finish that provides durable corrosion resistance while maintaining a distinct aesthetic. The handguard utilizes a proprietary compression lock design, where Top Rail system slides over the barrel nut and is compressed down against the receiver using four screws. This method ensures a tight fit that supports the monolithic Picatinny top rail, preventing movement under recoil.

Engineered for experienced builders, the handguard incorporates triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts throughout its body to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. The total weight, including the proprietary barrel nut, is 8.5 oz. The internal diameter is specified at 1.32″, providing adequate clearance for various barrel profiles. M-LOK slots are distributed on all four sides—top, bottom, left, and right—allowing for the attachment of accessories in any orientation.

Key technical features include a machined QD swivel socket located on the rear end of the handguard, available on both the right and left sides for flexible sling attachment. The unit is US Made, ensuring consistent manufacturing standards. The Gen 2 design refines the compression mechanism for improved reliability and ease of installation. This handguard is designed for AR-15 platforms and requires a compatible barrel nut and gas tube configuration for proper fitment.
