The Geissele Automatics MK16 Super Modular Rail transforms standard AR-15 platforms into precision shooting systems with its advanced free-float design. This 9.5-inch handguard eliminates barrel contact interference while providing multiple mounting options for accessories. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing, it delivers the rigidity competitive shooters and tactical professionals demand.
What Makes This Different
The MK16 features Geissele's proprietary barrel nut system that creates a rock-solid platform without the timing issues found in standard handguards. The continuous top rail maintains sight alignment across the entire length, while the M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions offer versatile accessory mounting. Internal anti-rotation tabs prevent shifting under heavy use, maintaining zero even during rapid fire sequences.
