AR-308 15″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) (Anodized Black)

Description

This AR-308 handguard is engineered for builders requiring a rigid, free-floating interface for 308 caliber platforms. The AIR-LOK Series utilizes a compression lock down design that slides over the barrel nut and compresses against the receiver via four screws, ensuring a tight fit that supports a monolithic Picatinny top rail. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, the body features a solid pattern with triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts throughout to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. The unit includes a proprietary barrel nut and measures 15 inches in length with an internal diameter of 1.47 inches. The exterior is finished in Anodized Black, providing durable corrosion resistance and a matte appearance consistent with heavy-duty tactical applications. M-LOK slots are distributed on all four sides (top, bottom, left, and right), offering versatile accessory mounting options without interfering with the gas system. A DPMS Low Profile Spec rail height ensures compatibility with standard optics mounts. The rear end of the handguard is machined with QD (Quick Detach) swivel sockets on both the right and left sides, facilitating secure sling attachment points. Weighing 12.7 oz including the barrel nut, this Gen 2 design balances lightweight handling with the rigidity needed for accurate long-range shooting. Manufactured in the USA, this component is a direct upgrade for AR-308 builds seeking modular flexibility and precise barrel clearance.
