The Aim Sports MTK13H308 delivers extended rail space and reduced weight for AR-10 platforms chambered in .308 Winchester. This 13.5-inch handguard transforms standard carbine configurations into precision-oriented setups with multiple attachment points for optics, lights, and bipods.
What Makes This Different
The KeyMod mounting system eliminates the bulk of traditional Picatinny rails while maintaining superior accessory retention. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, this handguard weighs approximately 40% less than comparable quad-rail systems. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and wear while providing a non-reflective surface for tactical applications.
Key Features
- 13.5-inch length accommodates rifle-length gas systems and provides extended sight radius
- KeyMod slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for versatile accessory mounting
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction balances strength with weight reduction
- Free-floating design improves barrel harmonics and accuracy potential
- Black anodized finish provides Type III hardcoat protection
- Compatible with AR-10 and .308 AR platform receivers
- Includes mounting hardware and installation instructions
Field performance centers on the handguard's ability to maintain zero under thermal stress and repeated firing. The free-floating design prevents contact with the barrel during heating cycles, preserving accuracy in extended shooting sessions. Law enforcement and competitive shooters benefit from the reduced weight during transitions and prolonged target engagement. The KeyMod system accepts standard accessories including vertical grips, lights, and laser devices without additional rail sections.
