The ODIN Works O2 Lite 10.5-inch M-LOK handguard transforms AR-10 platform rifles with lightweight construction and enhanced modularity. This .308-specific forend reduces overall weapon weight while maintaining structural integrity under demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
The O2 Lite design incorporates strategic material removal and optimized geometry to achieve significant weight reduction compared to standard quad-rail systems. Advanced manufacturing techniques create precise M-LOK slots that maintain consistent torque specifications across the entire rail surface. The .308-specific dimensions accommodate larger barrel profiles and gas systems without compromising accessory mounting capabilities.
Key Features
- 10.5-inch length optimized for carbine and SBR configurations
- M-LOK mounting system with precise 1913 Picatinny compatibility
- Lightweight aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Anti-rotation barrel nut system prevents handguard movement
- .308 Winchester/7.62x51 NATO chamber compatibility
- Continuous top rail for optics and backup sights
- Heat-dissipating design reduces thermal buildup during sustained fire
Field performance demonstrates consistent zero retention through temperature variations and recoil cycles typical of .308 semi-automatic platforms. The M-LOK interface accepts standard accessories including bipods, lights, and laser aiming devices without additional adapters. Corrosion-resistant finish withstands exposure to moisture, cleaning solvents, and operational environments.
