11.7″ Free Float M-LOK Handguard
Designed for maximum rigidity and lightweight performance, this handguard utilizes an innovative two-piece wedge block locking system that applies equal clamping pressure around the entire circumference of the barrel nut.
Unlike traditional side-clamp designs, the wedge system distributes force evenly to create an exceptionally secure attachment. The result is improved rigidity, better harmonics, and enhanced durability when using slings, barricades, bipods, or other accessories that place stress on the front of the handguard.
The skeletonized design minimizes weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the slim profile offers excellent ergonomics and handling.

sound of freedom – This was a great set up. I loved being able to customize the set up. Only issue I had was my own fault as a newb to building these. I used a heavy barrel in a slim hand guard. It makes adding attachments tough with clearances. Hoping someday to also get an AR10 from here.
