Length: 17.50" • Interface: M-LOK® • Material: Aluminum • Finish: Black • Platform: AR-10 / DPMS-pattern big-frame AR (verify compatibility) • SKU: F17MLO2308206 (also labeled F17MLO23082.06) • UPC: 857116007061
Why Choose the 02 Lite for Your AR-10?
True Free-Float for Repeatable Accuracy
By isolating the barrel from sling and barricade pressure, the 02 Lite supports consistent point of impact and tighter groups—critical for competition, hunting, and DMR roles.
Long 17.50" Reach, Better Control
The extended length lets you run an aggressive support-hand position for superior leverage, recoil management, and faster transitions. It also shields longer gas systems and gives you more M-LOK® slots where you actually need them.
Strong, Lightweight Aluminum
The carefully machined profile keeps weight down while preserving rigidity—so your rifle carries light and still feels planted on bags, bipods, and barricades.
Clean, Modern, Heat-Shedding Design
Sleek lines and generous ventilation help with heat dissipation over long strings. The low-glare black finish matches modern receivers and accessories for a unified look.
Install-Ready with Included Hardware
Comes with mounting hardware for a straightforward installation on compatible AR-10 uppers—no last-minute parts chasing.

Installation Overview (High-Level)
Unload & Clear: Verify the firearm is safe.
Prep Upper: Remove existing handguard and muzzle device as needed; confirm gas system alignment.
Barrel Nut: Install and torque to spec per the included instructions; align for gas tube.
Fit the Forend: Slide the 02 Lite over the gas system, align with the receiver rail.
Secure: Tighten the included fasteners to the specified torque; verify anti-shift alignment.
Reassemble & Check: Reinstall muzzle device, function check, and confirm zero before live fire.
If you’re new to big-frame AR builds, a qualified armorer can ensure proper torque, alignment, and gas clearance.
Builder Tips for Best Results
Balance Matters: Place heavier accessories (lights/bipods) closer to the receiver to keep the rifle lively.
Cable Management: Use M-LOK® clips/channels to route pressure-switch leads cleanly.
QD Sling Points: Add M-LOK® QD cups where your carry method demands.
Zero Retention: Re-confirm optic/offset-sight zero after any front-end change.
Thermal Planning: Ventilation helps—still allow cool-down intervals during high-volume strings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my specific AR-10 upper?
A: It’s designed for AR-10 / large-frame AR builds. Because patterns vary, verify DPMS/Armalite compatibility and included barrel-nut specs against your receiver.
Q: Can I tuck a suppressor under the handguard?
A: The 02 Lite is slim for ergonomics; if you plan to “shroud” a device, confirm outer-diameter clearance before purchase.
Q: Does it include a barrel nut?
A: Mounting hardware is included; exact contents (barrel nut/fasteners) can vary by lot. Check your package and instructions.
Q: What accessories work with it?
A: Any M-LOK® compliant accessory—bipods, hand stops, barricade stops, rail sections, light mounts, QD cups, and more.

Responsible Build Reminder
