JE Machine Tech AR-15 10" M-LOK Clamp Handguard

The clamp version of JE Machine Tech's 10 inch AR-15 M-LOK handguard. A 10 inch tube keeps the weight hanging out in front of the receiver to a minimum, which is usually the point for anyone building a short, quick handling AR-15 rather than a long, steady one.

The M-LOK slots do the accessory work. Hand stops, lights, and sling points bolt directly into the slots with nothing underneath them, and whatever you leave off simply is not there to catch on gear. On a shorter handguard that is worth something real: there is less room to give away to mounting hardware, so a system that sits flush instead of stacking up is the one that makes sense.
