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

The 15″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard with Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) is a US Made component engineered for builders seeking a robust, lightweight interface between the barrel and the receiver. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, this handguard features a proprietary Barrel Nut that slides over the barrel and compresses down against the receiver using four screws, creating a tight fit that supports a rigid Monolithic Top Rail. The AIR-LOK Series Compression Lock Down Design ensures stability while reducing overall weight through Triangle and Diamond Skeletonized Cuts throughout the body.

Measuring 15″ in length with an Internal Diameter of 1.32″, this handguard provides M-LOK Slots on all four sides—Top, Bottom, Left, and Right—allowing for versatile accessory mounting. The rear end of the handguard includes a Machined QD Swivel Socket on both the Right and Left Side, facilitating sling attachment points. The unit weighs 9.7 oz including the barrel nut, a figure that reflects the efficiency of the skeletonized construction without compromising structural integrity. The finish is Anodized Purple, providing a durable surface treatment that matches the visual aesthetic of the Anodized Purple designation.

This Gen 2 Design represents an evolution in free-floating handguard technology, prioritizing a secure lock-down mechanism that minimizes vibration transfer. The heavy-duty construction is evident in the precision machining of the M-LOK slots and the robust monolithic rail. For the experienced builder, the combination of the proprietary barrel nut and the compression design offers a repeatable, stable platform for optics and other rail-mounted equipment. The United States of America origin underscores the manufacturing quality and adherence to domestic production standards.
