The Strike Industries VOA Handguard transforms the Benelli M2 from a traditional hunting shotgun into a versatile tactical platform. This direct-replacement handguard eliminates the factory plastic foreend while adding modern modularity through integrated M-LOK attachment points. Built specifically for the Benelli M2's unique receiver dimensions, it maintains the shotgun's legendary reliability while expanding accessory mounting capabilities.
What Makes This Different
Unlike universal handguards that require modifications, the VOA system drops directly onto the M2's factory barrel nut without gunsmithing. The aluminum construction reduces weight compared to quad-rail alternatives while providing superior heat dissipation during rapid fire sequences. Multiple M-LOK slots positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions offer precise accessory placement without the bulk of continuous rails.
Key Features
- Direct-fit installation on Benelli M2 without modifications
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- M-LOK compatible slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions
- Integrated QD sling mount points for tactical applications

Field performance shows significant improvement in handling characteristics during tactical drills and competitive shooting. The extended length provides better leverage for rapid target transitions while the M-LOK system allows shooters to mount lights, lasers, and vertical grips exactly where needed. Heat buildup remains minimal even during extended training sessions, and the hard anodized finish resists wear from repeated holstering and field use.
