The AR-15 Slim M-LOK Handguard | V3 Blem Model | Gun Engineer is a high quality and feature packed M-LOK handguard designed for AR-15 platform rifles and pistols. When designing this handguard, the team started from a basic set of requirements: The handguard must be tough, versatile, practical and have a straight forward install.<\/p>\n
Tough<\/strong><\/p>\n Versatile<\/strong><\/p>\n Practical<\/strong><\/p>\n Straight Forward Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n The end result is a great looking, zero compromise handguard suitable for a wide variety of builds.<\/p>\n Interior Diameter<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.35\u2033\u201d ID<\/p>\n 1.7\u2033\u201d Maximum Vertical ID (for considering vertical height of gas blocks)<\/p>\n Dirty Bird Industries\u2019 Limited Lifetime\u00a0Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n Available Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n Black, Magpul\u2122 FDE, Magpul\u2122 OD Green, Midnight Bronze, Sniper Grey<\/p>\n ASAL Attachement System Report<\/strong><\/p>\n Eliminating Handguard Slip<\/p>\n The shockwave generated when firing an AR-15 creates over 1000 G\u2019s of acceleration. This means that a one pound part will generate over 1000 pounds of force every time the rifle is fired. Combined with the thermal cycling generated when firing multiple rounds, it can be very difficult to keep a handguard from slipping forward or rotating. Many attempts have been made to solve this problem. Some solutions are overly complex, resulting in difficult installation and high manufacturing cost. Some designs, like the popular key seat, are overly simple. The key seat will stop a handguard from coming completely off of the rifle; however, it still allows some forward slip and 360 degrees of rotation.<\/p>\n Handguard Lift<\/p>\n Free-floating handguard mounting systems tend to produce an upward lift of the handguard, resulting in the muzzle end of the handguard floating higher than the receiver end. This lift can adversely affect the performance of the rifle, especially when using iron sights. Even if the handguard is only used for protecting your hand, a small amount of lift is noticeable when aiming down the sightline. This visually makes the rifle seem crooked. Even if the rifle performs with precision, it can create an optical illusion, thereby reducing accuracy.<\/p>\n Solution<\/p>\n The patent pending ASALTM<\/sup>\u00a0(Anti-Slip \/ Anti-Lift) system is simple, easy to install, easy to manufacture, and a cost effective solution to handguard slip and lift issues. The ASALTM<\/sup>\u00a0system locks the handguard to the barrel nut using a CamLokTM<\/sup>\u00a0fastener featuring a 10 degree taper angle. This small taper creates a huge mechanical advantage, greatly increasing the force generated by a standard screw. The mating groove in the barrel nut is offset so as it is tightened, the handguard is pressed against the upper. This mitigates lift while also preventing slipping or rotation around the barrel\u2019s axis. The result is a handguard that will not slip, rotate, or lift.<\/p>\n The result is a 10x decreases of handguard muzzle end lift.<\/p>\n Our blemished products are fully functional, they just didn\u2019t meet our high standards. They are a great product at a discounted price for someone who doesn\u2019t mind a slight imperfection.
