This is the 2021 version of the MLOK Handguard, in a 10.5" length and black engraved branding. No longer white marked.
We don't impress easily at Charlie's, but the Centurion MLOK is just fun to hold. It has a slick Hard Coat Anodized finish and the rail is just plain rugged and ultra-slim. We like the full top 1913 Picatinny rail and MLOK throughout the length of the right and left sides and the bottom. Punctuating the ends of the rails are integrated QD sockets for slings.
This patented rail system is a lightweight, rugged, one piece, free float hand guard that, when installed, gives the upper a continuous 12 o'clock rail. The MLOK rail system clamps to a proprietary barrel nut that can be installed on 5.56/.223 based AR platform systems. It was designed with the top 1913 rail for mounting the most common accessories, yet does away with the need for 1913 rail at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. Here, other accessories can be directly mounted to it with a dedicated, simple, light-weight, mount. However, it does allow for 1913 rail to be added, if needed, for some less common accessories. Additionally, the rail has built in anti-rotation QD sling swivels in 4 positions. The main objective of the rail is to have a smaller, lighter weight, more ergonomic, handguard that maintains or enhances functionality for the end user. As professional end users ourselves, we know the importance of keeping things simple and that is the design intent here... a K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid) system.
This item is a new take-off from a Colt EPR rifle. The product is in pristine shape, but comes without a box and without a barrel nut wrench.
THIS PRODUCT IS MACHINED IN AMERICA ON AMERICAN MADE MACHINES!!
Note: The very narrow inside diameter of the 5.56 M-LOK Centurion Rail might be too small for some low profile gas blocks, good to check the measurements.
