Slick Top AR-10 M-LOK Handguard from Aero Precision

The ATLAS S-One for the M5 platform features a slick top rail for more comfortable weapon handling. This handguard looks excellent, matching Aero’s M5 uppers and lower receivers, but it’s also challenging and feature-rich. 3 sides of M-LOK slots, 3 QD sling attachment points, plus enough rail at the very end for a backup iron sight.

These handguards come in 12 and 15-inch lengthy varieties to suit a modern battle rifle build.  Choose from matte black anodizing or durable Cerakote finishes matching your favorite polymer components and Aero Precision M5 receivers. This handguard will work with most Gen 1 DPMS pattern upper receivers with high tang profiles.

Innovative Taper Lock Attachment

The ATLAS (Aero Taper Lock Attachment System) gives the handguard its name and a sleek attachment method.  The ATLAS uses 2 mirrored, tapered locking nuts that evenly distribute the clamping force around the barrel nut with a turnbuckle screw.  The handguard also features a ratcheting detent, securing the installation and preventing distortion during installation.

This handguard includes all the necessary hardware for installation, plus timing shims to provide perfect alignment with your receiver and gas tube.  As with all of Aero Precision’s products, the ATLAS S-ONE sets the standard for quality across the industry, and it’s all made in the USA.

Features:

• Smooth top rail for comfortable grip, with Picatinny rail for backup sights
• Quick disconnect sling socket at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions
• Compatible with low-profile gas blocks
• 1.5″ Inside diameter
• Compatible with AR308 upper receivers and barrels (DPMS Gen 1 High Tang style)

Note: The ATLAS Handguards are incompatible with the M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver.  Use the Threaded M5E1 Upper Receiver only.
