16.5″ Ultra Lightweight Thin M-LOK Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (.308 Cal) (Anodized Gold)

Description

This 16.5-inch handguard is engineered for .308 caliber builds, featuring a T6 aluminum body with an Anodized Gold finish. The design incorporates an M-LOK system along the sides, providing attachment points for accessories while maintaining a solid pattern where not cut. The total weight including the proprietary barrel nut is 14.8 oz, offering a balance of durability and reduced mass for the builder.

Key to its function is the monolithic top rail, which slides over the barrel nut and locks up against the receiver using six screws. This tight fit ensures Top Rail remains aligned with the upper receiver, creating a unified sighting platform. The internal diameter is specified at 1.48 inches, accommodating standard .308 barrel profiles without interference. The unit adheres to DPMS Low Profile Spec dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard gas blocks and related components.

Constructed from heavy-duty T6 aluminum, the handguard is made in the USA. The Anodized Gold finish provides corrosion resistance and a distinct visual profile. Thin M-LOK slots are arranged in diagonal rows along the side panels, tapering slightly toward the open end to facilitate heat dissipation and accessory placement. The proprietary barrel nut included allows for secure mounting and proper alignment of the free-floating design.
