Hodge Defense Systems Spine Lock Free Float AR-15 Handguard - M-LOK - 10.75"

The Hodge Defense Systems Spine Lock Handguard adds extra rigidity to Hodge's Pinch Lock design by reinforcing the top spine of the rail. Built for shooters who want maximum stability under hard use, this M-LOK handguard is a lightweight, durable upgrade for AR-15 and M16 platforms.

Features:

• Spine Lock design adds material along the top spine for rigidity
• M-LOK compatible slots
• Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
• Type III Class 2 hard coat anodized finish
• Uses the same barrel nut as Hodge's Wedge Lock and Pinch Lock rails
• 10.75" length

The added spine material reduces flex compared to Hodge's standard Pinch Lock rail, which matters most for shooters mounting heavier accessories or running the handguard hard in training. Because it shares a barrel nut with Hodge's other locking systems, this handguard can be swapped onto an existing Wedge Lock or Pinch Lock setup without changing the barrel nut itself.

M-LOK slots run down the sides for direct mounting of lights, grips, and other accessories, while the hard coat anodized finish resists wear from regular use and holster or sling contact.

Hodge Defense Systems designs modular handguard platforms built around interchangeable locking systems, letting shooters move between Pinch Lock, Spine Lock, and Wedge Lock rails using the same barrel nut.
