SLR Rifleworks Ion Ultra Lite 6.25" M-LOK Handguard

The SLR Rifleworks Ion Ultra Lite handguard takes all the functionality of the Ion series of handguards and makes it even lighter. It features the same design with seven sides of M-LOK quick attach slots, lightening cuts, and vent holes to decrease weight while allowing you to place accessories in your preferred positions. The top picatinny rail has been shortened to further decrease weight while still allowing you to securely mount a front iron sight without fear of it losing zero. This free float handguard features a slip over barrel nut design that is extremely durable and easy to install. No timing or barrel shims are necessary to ensure that the M-LOK handguard is perfectly straight. If you are looking to build a lightweight AR-15 that doesn’t sacrifice functionality or durability, the SLR Ion Ultra Light handguard is the one for you.
