Specifications

Product Overview

The Solgw 10.5" M89 M-Lok Handguard is designed to provide a secure and efficient mounting system for AR-15 rifles. It features a proprietary barrel nut and Drivelock design, which ensures a rock-solid attachment to the barrel, eliminating any potential wobble or movement.

Material and Construction

The handguard is machined from high-quality aluminum and is hardcoat anodized to provide a durable finish. This ensures that the handguard can withstand harsh environmental conditions and heavy use without compromising its structural integrity.

Design Features

The M89 DriveLock Rail employs a patent-pending Drivelock design in collaboration with Icon Defense. This design uses three independent wedges that interface with angular grooves in the proprietary barrel nut, providing extreme force and precision in its clamping mechanism. The slightly larger inner diameter of the extrusion allows for more real estate around the gas block, resulting in greater rigidity and a reduced propensity to heat up during heavy use. This design also ensures that the handguard is driven rearward towards the upper receiver, creating a more secure and stable platform.

Installation

Installing the Solgw 10.5" M89 M-Lok Handguard is relatively straightforward, requiring a torque wrench to secure the barrel nut and hex wrenches for the side screws. The kit includes all necessary hardware, including the proprietary barrel nut, three threaded pieces, and cups for the screws. It is recommended to apply a small amount of grease to the barrel nut threads and the extension to facilitate smooth installation.

Performance

The Solgw 10.5" M89 M-Lok Handguard offers exceptional performance, providing a secure and stable platform for various accessories. Its robust design ensures that the handguard does not heat up quickly, making it suitable for extended periods of use. The slightly larger inner diameter also offers more space around the gas block, which can improve reliability and reduce the risk of malfunctions.

Versatility

The M-Lok slots on the handguard allow for the attachment of various accessories, such as lights, lasers, and bipods. This versatility makes the handguard suitable for a wide range of applications, from hunting to tactical use.
