Product Description
The ATLAS R - ONE is the latest addition to the Aero Precision Handguard range. Crafted from 6061 - T6 Aluminum, these handguards are engineered with size and weight optimization. They're ideal for lightweight builds, giving you the perfect grip and control. Our unique ATLAS attachment system is a tough and reliable mounting base. It maintains a sleek profile while offering the strength and stability that Aero Precision customers love. The new Aero Taper Lock Attachment System (ATLAS) is both useful and good - looking. It has 2 mirrored tapered locking nuts that distribute clamping pressure evenly across a custom - engineered barrel nut using a turnbuckle screw. A ratcheting detent further secures the design and provides positive registration during installation. The even pressure of the ATLAS system prevents handguard distortion, a common issue in current applications. All mounting hardware comes with your ATLAS Handguard purchase. Key features include a full top picatinny rail for adding accessories, quick - disconnect sling sockets at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, compatibility with low - profile gas blocks, a 1.3 - inch inside diameter, a 1.5 - inch outside diameter, and compatibility with mil - spec AR15 upper receivers and barrels. However, it's not compatible with M4E1 Enhanced Upper Receivers. ATLAS Handguards match well with our M4E1 Threaded Upper Receivers and are also compatible with any Mil - Spec AR - 15 upper receivers. But due to indexing tabs, they may not work with billet upper receivers. Save money when you buy them as a combo. Note: The ATLAS Handguards are not compatible with our M4E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver. It's made in America, part of the AR15 platform, ATLAS series, with M - LOK attachment type, and machined from 6061 - T6 aluminum. The 15 - inch handguard is actually 14.94 inches long, measured from the receiver contact point to the end of the last picatinny slot at the muzzle. It weighs 7.95 oz, and the mounting hardware weighs 4.72 oz.
Using your Aero Precision AR15 15 - Inch ATLAS R - ONE MLOK Handguard is a breeze. First, make sure you have all the mounting hardware that comes with the handguard. When installing, use the turnbuckle screw to evenly distribute the clamping pressure with the mirrored tapered locking nuts. The ratcheting detent will help you get a proper fit. Attach any accessories you want to the full top picatinny rail, and you can use the quick - disconnect sling sockets at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for a sling. Remember, this handguard is compatible with mil - spec AR15 upper receivers and barrels, but not with M4E1 Enhanced Upper Receivers. If you're using a billet upper receiver, it might not work due to indexing tabs. For maintenance, keep it clean. After use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. You can also use a mild cleaner if there's dirt or debris. Check the mounting hardware regularly to make sure it's tight and in good condition. This will keep your handguard in top shape and ensure a long - lasting, reliable performance.
