Overview

Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, it suits hunters and shooters looking to keep a rifle trim for field carry or general-purpose use.

- The slim profile is a deliberate trade-off; it supports a streamlined setup but leaves less bulk for those who prefer a larger gripping surface.
- This listing is for the 12.7" M-LOK version, so compatibility and fit should be checked carefully against the intended AR-15 build before purchase.
