Ax mk II AICS hand guard

[Clenglish74]

Ok so new here to this forum, I’ll get right to it. Bought an AX MKII AICS chasis (short action), so it comes with an crappy 13” keymod hand guard. I have searched everywhere, do they make a 16” mlok hand guard for this thing? If so who ?

Kind of a disappointment to pay 2k for a chasis with keymod or is it just me.

I think there are some replacements out there, not sure what they are.

Yes key slot, looks like a little bigger keymod.

The key slot is a pretty solid rail system. While it looks like keymod, it does not have the issues keymod has. This is addressed in the AI dedicated threads.

Yep... keyslot. Sucks that you have to buy the proprietary accessories for it but it's a superior mounting system, even to MLOK.

Victor Company USA makes a replacement forend of the Post-2014 AX AICS that integrates MLOK and ARCA.

The OEM handguard is pretty robust though, I never saw the need to swap it out.
