Preston –
The 15″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard in OD Green has been a solid addition to my AR-15 build. Right out of the box, the quality is noticeable—well-machined, with a durable finish that’s resistant to scratches and wear. The monolithic top rail provides a seamless platform, making it easy to mount optics and other accessories securely. The OD Green color perfectly matches my tactical setup, giving it a sleek and professional look.
One aspect that stands out is how lightweight yet sturdy this handguard feels. Despite its robust construction, it doesn’t add unnecessary weight, which is crucial for maintaining maneuverability and reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Installation was straightforward; the AIR-LOK system clearly simplifies the process, ensuring a tight and stable fit without any wobbling or play. The compression-free design also means fewer points of potential failure and less maintenance over time.
Design-wise, I appreciate the M-LOK slots along the sides, providing flexibility for adding accessories like lights, grips, or lasers. The ventilation slots also help with heat dissipation during rapid fire or prolonged shooting sessions, keeping the barrel cooler and maintaining accuracy. As someone who values both function and aesthetics, the OD Green complements other tactical gear and accessories, giving the overall rifle a cohesive look.
In terms of value, even though this product has been discontinued, it’s evident that it was built with high standards. It’s a piece that combines durability, ease of installation, and a clean design—all critical factors for serious shooters or enthusiasts. The finish and machining are impressive, and it feels built to last through tough use.
Overall, this handguard has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and performance. While it’s unfortunate that it’s discontinued, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, lightweight, and versatile handguard for their AR-15. If you find one available, it’s definitely worth considering for your build—especially if you prioritize durability and style in your tactical setup.
