The LaRue Tactical LAT M-LOK Handguard (12") is a robust, precision-engineered rail system for AR-15 platforms. Designed to provide a lightweight yet secure solution, it supports mid-length to rifle-length gas systems, making it versatile for custom builds.
The LAT M-LOK handguard is constructed with precision CNC machining, using high-grade aluminum to offer strength without excess weight. The hard-coat anodized finish provides additional protection against corrosion and scratches, ensuring durability in the field and at the range​
LaRue’s proprietary two-pin barrel nut system includes an anti-slip plate, guaranteeing a secure, movement-free installation that maintains alignment for mounted accessories.
Unlike other handguards, the LAT integrates QD sling swivel sockets directly into the base, eliminating the need for additional hardware and keeping the setup streamlined and clutter-free​
Compared to other M-LOK handguards like those from Geissele or BCM, the LAT stands out with its unique barrel nut locking mechanism, which ensures a tight, secure fit without requiring frequent adjustments. It offers similar modularity but at a more competitive price point​
