Aero Precision M5 15" Enhanced M-LOK Handguard Gen 2 – Anodized Black
Upgrade your large-frame rifle build with the Aero Precision M5 15" Enhanced M-LOK Handguard Gen 2. Engineered for high-demand shooters operating .308 and large-frame AR platforms, this Gen 2 model introduces integrated quick-disconnect (QD) sling sockets at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions alongside functional texturing along the flats for enhanced grip and an aggressive look. Featuring built-in anti-rotation tabs, a weight-saving scalloped top rail, and a spacious 1.72" internal diameter that tucks suppressors up to 1.5" in diameter, this handguard delivers maximum accessory modularity, thermal efficiency, and rock-solid durability.
Key Features & Gen 2 Upgrades
- Integrated QD Sling Sockets: Built-in quick-disconnect points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock allow effortless, low-profile sling attachment without extra rail adapters.
- Suppressor-Ready Design: Generous 1.72" inside diameter easily accommodates over-barrel suppressors and large muzzle devices up to 1.5" OD.
- Enhanced Ergonomics: Strategic milling along the handguard flats provides additional texture for a secure, non-slip grip.
- Anti-Rotation Tabs: Built-in alignment tabs ensure a rigid, non-shifting fitment against the upper receiver.
- Scalloped Picatinny Rail: Lightened top rail design reduces overall front-end weight while maintaining full mounting space for optics and night vision.
- System Compatibility: Seamlessly bolts to Aero Precision M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receivers, or mounts to standard DPMS-style upper receivers using a BAR barrel nut (sold separately, SKU 100-035-811).
