The ATLAS S-ONE is the newest addition to the Aero Precision Handguard lineup. Machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum, the S-ONE line of handguards are designed with size and weight in mind, providing the perfect handguard for your lightweight build. Our proprietary ATLAS attachment system is a durable and dependable mounting platform, maintaining a slim profile while still providing the strength and stability customers have grown to love from Aero Precision handguards.
Available in KeyMod and M-LOK® profiles with 7", 9", 12" and 15" options.
ATLAS
The new Aero Taper Lock Attachment System (ATLAS) is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It features 2 mirrored tapered locking nuts that provide evenly distributed clamping pressure across a custom engineered barrel nut with use of a turnbuckle screw. A ratcheting detent further secures the design while providing positive registration during installation. By design, the even pressure of the ATLAS system avoids distortion of the handguard often seen with current applications during installation.
All hardware mounting parts are included with the purchase of an ATLAS Handguard.

Customer Reviews
- Beautiful, lightweight, sturdy, slightly disappointing Review by Collin

Just got this in today and attached it to my AR, and i honestly love how it looks. On top of that, with the barrel nut it weighs less than my previous handguard, so it is very lightweight. Up there in price with Midwest Industries handguards, which are also very good quality, but I love the look of these. Biggest problem is that there is no way to attach this to an enhanced upper. Now obviously that would defeat the purpose of the ATLAS acronym, but i really would love to see something like this available for Enhanced uppers.

As a custom rifle builder, customer satisfaction is key. These handgaurds are satisfying in many ways. It gives your rifle the feel of a precision rifle instead of a bulky battle rifle. They are very light and look great. I can even fit these handgaurds over the .936 BSF CF barrel with the Aero .936 low profile gasblock. Very affordable and easy to install. What more could you ask for?!? (Posted on 6/5/2018)Quality Price Value - Awesome handguard Review by Robert

Lightweight, gives a seamless look when mounted to matching Aero receivers. Only downside, and one I didn’t realize prior to purchasing, is that there is no MLok available for mounting along the top of the rail. Still, a 5star product no doubt.

I bought a 12" for a new build and was surprised how lightweight it was. Very easy to install, and very solid. Just ordered a 7" for my blackout (Posted on 1/22/2018)Quality Price Value - outstanding Review by Friend of the Pod

Rock-solid, simple to install, sleek, and looks terrific with the M4E1 receivers I paired it with. The fact that it costs less than most other free-float handguards on the market (most of which I think are dog ugly) is a nice bonus. (Posted on 1/6/2018)Quality Price Value - Great value.

So i bought this for a .458 pistol build im working on. Was bummed to slide it on and it didnt fit over the .875 adjustable gas block. Thats alright though. The handguard thats on my 5.56 fits over it so this will be going on the 5.56. (Posted on 12/30/2017)Quality Price Value - Possible build considerations Review by David

First I'll say I love the look and feel of this design, and the price is alright.Quality Price Value
One thing to note is that if you have a fatter barrel, the built in QD mounts won't work, at least they don't with the Magpul sling I own. The barrel I am using is a 10.3" 300 blackout from Ballistic Advantage.
I didn't receive any shims with the order and when I asked for some, they sent me one(?) but it's extremely thin and virtually useless. In my case I wasn't able to get the barrel nut to index perfectly, but I got it to work nonetheless. (Posted on 12/29/2017) - Love it Review by Brian

Got a blemished ATLAS S One for my recent build. When it came in, it took me 10 minutes to find the blemish and even then it is barely noticeable. Kudos to Aero for quality control but damn I feel like I'm stealing it. VERY easy to install if you can follow simple instructions. VERY clean look to the rifle. Lightweight so it balances out the required heavy barrel here in the peoples republic of maryland. No question I would recommend this to others.

This thing is light. The fde looks good and is a perfect match to their other fde receivers. The logos look great. I like the ease of the installation. I wish they made an aluminum barrel nut for this that could be purchased separately! (Posted on 11/25/2017)Quality Price Value - Very Impressive Review by Quinton

Just received the M-Lok version today. I don’t even have a barrel for this build yet but I’ve installed a similar idea hand guard for a buddy from Manticore. The Manticore system doesn’t require that barrel but be clocked or timed but this system is a much more secure attachment system and clocking the barrel but is so simple. Plus this Aero Atlas system is almost half the price. Simple decision for me AERO ATLAS better stronger attachment of guard to barrel but and much better BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!!!!!!
