Discover the Perfect Handguard for Your Lightweight Build!
The ATLAS R-ONE is the latest innovation in the Aero Precision Handguard lineup, crafted with precision and designed for performance.
Product Description
Machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum, the R-ONE line of handguards prioritizes size and weight, making it the ideal choice for your lightweight AR-308 build. Our proprietary ATLAS attachment system offers a robust and reliable mounting platform that maintains a slim profile while delivering the strength and stability that customers have come to expect from Aero Precision handguards.
ATLAS System
The new Aero Taper Lock Attachment System (ATLAS) is designed to be both functional and visually appealing. It includes:
- Two mirrored tapered locking nuts for evenly distributed clamping pressure.
- A custom engineered barrel nut paired with a turnbuckle screw.
- A ratcheting detent for enhanced security and positive registration during installation.
This design ensures that the even pressure of the ATLAS system prevents distortion of the handguard, a common issue with current installation methods.
