Beans's Review of Aero Precision AR15 ATLAS R-ONE M-LOK Handguard
I run my small business bids using this simple concept. Good- Fast -Cheap. Pick two.
In comparing apples to apples; this rail hit all the marks. As a quick disclaimer:
If you want a stiff scout mount rail- go Geissele-M4 Federal.
If you want a medium strength - still LW rail that comes with (imho) everything- Go BCM MCMR.
Expo Arms for Cheap and good. Stiff compared to the R1.
The Atlas R One is a light weight easy on-off rail. A caveman like me can do it.
The rail can flex when a few pounds are applied to the front (never affected my 1st or subsequent shots on irons). Add on 1913 rails and g10-rail covers do lend some stiffness to the assembly.
The single wedging bolt setup is secure but takes some attention to detail when starting the threads.
Price was approx. $120 which was awesome.
It only gets 4 stars because the powder-coat was too thick where the wedges interface the rail. I add lube and tighten a little more each day. The wedge nuts protrude 1/16”on each side at the moment.
The grey is dark and black g10 mlok covers still contrast well.
Arrived double boxed with the barrel nut and tool.
I’d box out the bottom of the hand guard to create space between the gas block and mlok screws. I’d also lengthen the barrel nut and add a 2nd wedging bolt.
This would add the desired stiffness .
Atlas R-2?
Thanks for reading. Stick to anodized for easy installs.
