![]() ![]() Each handguard ships with two M-Lok accessories: an eight-slot Picatinny-rail section and a quick-detach sling-swivel adapter. Other features of the handguard design include anti-rotation tabs that provide perfect alignment during installation, as well as a hard-coat anodized finish. When this two-piece titanium design is used to anchor the handguard to an upper receiver, the entire weight of the unit is a scant 10 ounces. Leapers also allows consumers to order a titanium barrel nut in lieu of the traditional steel barrel nut. When used with a standard, two-piece barrel nut, the entire Ultra Slim handguard assembly weighs in at 11.5 ounces, but the weight savings doesn't stop there. As an added benefit, the extra machining on the left and right side of the handguard provides a textured surface that provides enhanced grip and also creates a unique, attractive look. In between these M-Lok attachment points, the design features larger lightening cuts that eliminate the excess weight and bulk that surrounds the M-Lok attachment slot. The fore-end also features cuts in the body of the design, removing excess material without compromising the overall strength of the design.Ĭompatible with M-Lok accessory attachments, the Ultra Slim design provides slots at 3-, 6- and 9-o'clock positions rather than at seven positions around the circumference of the handguard. Instead of having a full-length attachment option, the handguard features a short segment of rail that buts up against the Picatinny optics rail found on flattop AR-15 receivers and a shortened segment found at the muzzle-end of the handguard to allow for the attachment of iron sights. ![]() Machined entirely from 6061-T6 aluminum, the UTG Pro Ultra Slim handguard saves weight by shaving off the bulk of the Picatinny top rail found on many AR handguards. This all-new design shaves even more weight off the company's Super Slim design, providing AR aficionados with an ultra-light design for their ultra-light rifle. Building on the success of its Super Slim AR-15 handguard design, which provided consumers with an already-lightweight fore-end option, Leapers expanded its product lineup with the even-more lithe Ultra Slim Handguard. ![]()
