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

The 9″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard with Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) is a US Made component engineered for precision fit and modular accessory mounting. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, this handguard features a proprietary Barrel Nut Included in the package to ensure a tight fit up against the receiver. This compression lock down design allows the Monolithic Picatinny Top Rail to slide over the barrel nut and compress down securely with four screws, creating a rigid platform for optics.

The exterior showcases a Triangle / Diamond Skeletonized Cut pattern throughout the body, a design choice that reduces weight without sacrificing structural integrity. The total weight including barrel nut is 7.1 oz, a figure that contributes to balanced handling. The internal diameter measures 1.32″, providing ample clearance for various barrel profiles and gas systems. M-LOK Slots are distributed on all four sides of the handguard, offering versatile attachment points for rails, lights, or grips.

Convenience is addressed with Machined QD Swivel Sockets located on the rear end of the handguard, available on both the right and left side for sling configuration flexibility. The unit is finished in Anodized Bronze, providing durable corrosion resistance and a distinctive aesthetic. This Gen 2 design represents an evolution of the AIR-LOK series, prioritizing repeatable assembly and thermal management through its free-floating architecture. It is an essential upper receiver component for builders seeking a robust, lightweight, and highly customizable handguard solution.
