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

Description

The 9″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard delivers a rigid mounting platform for AR-15 builds through its proprietary compression lock down design. Unlike standard slip-on handguards, this unit slides over the barrel nut and is compressed against the receiver with four screws, ensuring a tight fit that supports the monolithic Picatinny top rail. The body is constructed from T6 Aluminum, providing a balance of strength and weight reduction, while the internal diameter of 1.32″ accommodates various barrel profiles. The exterior features M-LOK slots on the bottom, left, and right sides, allowing for modular accessory attachment without compromising structural integrity. To further reduce mass, the handguard incorporates triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts throughout its length. The rear end includes machined QD swivel sockets on both the right and left sides for sling attachment. The unit arrives with a proprietary barrel nut included, simplifying installation. Total weight including the barrel nut is 7.6 oz. The finish is Anodized Gold, offering corrosion resistance and a distinct visual profile. This component is manufactured in the USA, adhering to strict dimensional standards for reliable fitment.
