AR-308 12″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (Gen 2) (Flat Dark Earth)

The AR-308 12″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard delivers a robust mounting solution for precision builds. Manufactured in the United States of America, this component utilizes T6 Aluminum to balance durability with manageable mass. The unit weighs 12.4 oz including the barrel nut, a figure achieved through extensive Triangle / Diamond Skeletonized Cuts throughout the handguard body. These cuts remove material without compromising structural integrity, ensuring Top Rail remains rigid under recoil.

At its core, this is a Gen 2 Design featuring the proprietary AIR-LOK Series – Compression Lock Down Design. Top Rail system slides over the barrel nut and is compressed against the receiver using four screws. This compression method creates a tight fit up against the receiver, which allows for a Monolithic Picatinny Top Rail that remains stable and true. The internal diameter is specified at 1.47″, providing adequate clearance for various barrel profiles while maintaining a secure lock-up.

Accessibility for accessories is maximized by M-LOK Slots On 4 Sides of Handguard (Top,Bottom, Left & Right Sides). This configuration allows builders to mount optics, lights, and grips in multiple orientations without interference. The handguard features a Body Cerakote Flat Dark Earth Finish, offering a durable, matte surface that resists wear and environmental exposure. A Proprietary Barrel Nut Included is provided to facilitate installation, ensuring the correct thread pitch and tension specifications are met for the AR-308 platform.
