9″ Ultra Lightweight Thin M-LOK System Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (Anodized Purple)

Description

Engineered for the experienced AR-15 builder, this 9-inch ultra lightweight thin M-LOK system free floating handguard delivers a rigid platform without unnecessary mass. Constructed from T6 aluminum, the body is finished in Anodized Purple to provide corrosion resistance and a distinct aesthetic. The design features Monolithic Top Rail, machined as a single piece with the handguard to eliminate flex and ensure consistent optic zero. A proprietary barrel nut is included to facilitate installation, sliding over the barrel and locking up against the receiver with six screws for a tight, secure fit. The total weight including the barrel nut is 7.9 oz, a critical specification for builders optimizing the weight-to-strength ratio of their upper receiver assembly. The internal diameter measures 1.34 inches, ensuring compatibility with standard gas tubes while maintaining true free float status. This US-made component is designed for precision fitment, allowing accessories to be mounted via Thin M-LOK slots on the sides and bottom without compromising the structural integrity of the handguard. The thin profile reduces windage and bulk, making it suitable for builds where minimal interference is required. The Anodized finish not only enhances durability but also provides a hard, scratch-resistant surface. By integrating the barrel nut directly into the system, installation is streamlined, ensuring the handguard sits flush against the receiver for maximum stability.
