M5 (.308) ATLAS R-ONE M-LOK HANDGUARD
Aero is excited to announce clear anodize parts and components! These parts feature a Type 3 hard coat finish that is applied without any dye during the anodizing process. Something to note about these is color variance between different materials- long story short 7000 series aluminum (receivers, chassis center sections, chassis stocks) show up with a more gold/yellow hue; whereas 6000 series aluminum (handguards) anodizes a more slate grey color. What these color variations leave you with is a visually appealing contrast that has gained a cult following over the years. Clear anodize being as light as it is also makes an amazing base for your next rattle can finish if you are into that type of thing!
NOTE: This part features a colored anodized finish. These finishes are held to different aesthetic standards than parts finished in black anodizing or Cerakote. The lighter coloring allows certain aesthetic marks on the material to be visible through the finish. Some may show more or fewer signs of these defects, but the parts are guaranteed to be quality and in spec. There are also slight color variances between different materials when colored anodizing is applied. For more information on colored anodizing visit our Knowledge Center.
ATLAS
The new Aero Taper Lock Attachment System (ATLAS) is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It features 2 mirrored tapered locking nuts that provide evenly distributed clamping pressure across a custom engineered barrel nut with use of a turnbuckle screw. A ratcheting detent further secures the design while providing positive registration during installation. By design, the even pressure of the ATLAS system avoids distortion of the handguard often seen with current applications during installation.
All hardware mounting parts are included with the purchase of an ATLAS Handguard.
