Introducing the AERO PRECISION MINIMAL OPTICAL DEFLECTION (MOD) 4 HANDGUARD – the ultimate upgrade for your AR-15!
The Aero Precision Minimal Optical Deflection (MOD) 4 handguard seamlessly blends robust construction with an ergonomic form factor, ensuring no compromises between the two. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the handguard is engineered with a focus on stiffness to drastically reduce deflection under load. It attaches to the upper receiver via a steel barrel nut, which also serves to significantly reduce point-of-impact shift when using an infrared laser aiming device under load.
In addition to its premium engineering, the MOD 4 handguard offers several quality-of-life improvements:
- A full-length, 7-sided M-LOK™ interface allows for customisation according to user preferences.
- Steel-reinforced QD sockets enhance the strength of the sockets, ensuring they do not wear prematurely with standard steel QD sling attachments.
- Installation is simplified at the barrel nut, as the need for timing has been eliminated, and the barrel nut lug pattern matches mil-spec castle nuts, removing the need for specialty tools.
- Two anti-rotation set screws add redundancy and ensure a tailored fit with third-party upper receivers.
Features:
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction
