About this product

```html M-LOK AR-15 Handguard – Flat Dark Earth – 15″: Lightweight Precision for Tactical Builds This 15″ M-LOK handguard delivers a rigid, ergonomic platform for AR-15 builds without unnecessary bulk. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type III hardcoat anodized finish, it withstands recoil and field use while keeping weight under 12oz. The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote option provides corrosion resistance and low-profile camouflage. Compatible with most mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers. Key Specifications Material: 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hardcoat anodizing Finish: Cerakote Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Length: 15″ (measured from receiver face) Weight: 11.8 oz Attachment System: M-LOK slots at 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:30, 9:00, 10:30 positions Inner Diameter: 1.5″ (clears most suppressor mounts) Feature Breakdown The handguard’s monolithic top rail maintains zero for optics and backup sights, while the M-LOK system allows tool-free accessory mounting. Eight M-LOK slots per side provide flexibility for lights, grips, or bipods without adding width. The slim profile (1.75″ outer diameter) improves handling compared to bulky quad-rail designs. Heat mitigation comes from the integrated heat shield and ample venting along the sides. The 6061-T6 aluminum construction dissipates heat faster than polymer alternatives, reducing mirage effect during sustained fire. Anodizing prevents galling and wear at contact points with the barrel nut. Installation requires only a standard armorer’s wrench for the barrel nut and hex keys for the included hardware. The anti-rotation system uses positive engagement with the upper receiver, eliminating the need for timing shims. All necessary mounting screws and indexing components ship pre-greased. Cerakote FDE matches common tactical finishes while providing superior abrasion resistance to spray paint. The coating undergoes 500-hour salt spray testing to prevent corrosion in humid environments. Unlike cheaper coatings, it won’t chip dur
