Experience unparalleled performance with the Aero Precision MOD 4 Handguard.
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 the user to customize their build according to their preferences.
- The steel-reinforced QD sockets enhance the sheer strength of the sockets and ensure they do not wear prematurely when interfaced 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.
- The inclusion of two anti-rotation set screws adds redundancy and ensures a more tailored fit when the handguard is used with third-party upper receivers.
