This rail is designed to meld perfectly with the top rail upper receiver that is standard to most AR-15 type rifles. When the Aethon M-LOK rail is properly mounted using the included aluminum barrel nut and secured with 2A’s exclusive 45-degree tension screw system the result is a lockup that is second to none. When properly fitted the rail to receiver attachment is almost seamless and it free-floats perfectly.
