The JE Machine Tech 12-inch M-LOK clamp-on handguard is a free-float rail for full-length AR-15 builds (JE Machine Tech part no. PS-223MLK12GBLK-NAR). It locks onto the included steel barrel nut with a clamp-on interface, a simple installation that holds solidly. M-LOK slots give generous room for lights, grips, sling mounts and other accessories. The handguard is machined from aluminum and black anodized. Twelve inches of rail gives a 16-inch carbine space for the support hand and accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include a barrel nut? Yes. A steel barrel nut and the mounting hardware are included, and the handguard clamps onto that barrel nut.

Why choose a free-float handguard? A free-float handguard does not touch the barrel, so pressure from a grip, bipod or sling does not push the barrel and shift your point of impact.
