Aero Precision AR-15 MOD 4 M-LOK Handguard

The Aero Precision Minimal Optical Deflection (MOD) 4 handguard seamlessly blends robust construction with an ergonomic form factor, ensuring no compromises between the two. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the handguard is engineered with a focus on stiffness to drastically reduce deflection under load. It attaches to the upper receiver via a steel barrel nut, which also serves to significantly reduce point-of-impact shift when using an infrared laser aiming device under load.

In addition to its premium engineering, the MOD 4 handguard offers several quality-of-life improvements. A full-length, 7-sided M-LOK™ interface allows the user to customize their build according to their preferences. The steel-reinforced QD sockets are a small but important detail, enhancing the sheer strength of the sockets and ensuring they do not wear prematurely when interfaced with standard steel QD sling attachments. Installation of this handguard is simplified at the barrel nut, as the need for timing has been eliminated, and the barrel nut lug pattern matches mil-spec castle nuts, removing the need for specialty tools. Finally, the inclusion of two anti-rotation set screws adds redundancy and ensures a more tailored fit when the handguard is used with third-party upper receivers.
