Description
Ares M45 CNC M-Lok Handguard (Short – Black – HG-037-BK)
This is a genuine Ares CNC-machined M-Lok handguard for the Ares M45 series of electric rifles, in the short length and finished in black. It replaces the front section of the rifle to give a slim, modern handguard with M-Lok slots, so you can fit rails, grips, lights and other accessories exactly where you want them.
It is made for Ares’ M45 platform; the Mid and Long versions are listed by Ares for the M45 X-Class, so check your model before ordering. The short length suits compact, CQB-focused builds, and black matches most rifles.
Design
CNC machining gives a precise, well-finished part with a clean profile. M-Lok slots let you bolt on only the rail sections and accessories you need, which keeps the front end lighter and slimmer than a fully railed handguard.
The black finish lets you match the rest of your rifle or create a two-tone look. Check the product images to see the slot layout and how the handguard attaches to the rifle.
Fitting
Handguards for the M45 are specific to that platform, so this is not a standard M4 handguard. Follow the Ares manual or any instructions supplied when fitting, and make sure the handguard is secure before play.
If you are unsure about fitting, ask a technician or contact us before ordering.

Compatibility

M-Lok rail sections and accessories fit the slots; choose the correct M-Lok hardware for each accessory.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the handguard clean after muddy games and dry it before storing. Check that the handguard and any accessories are tight before each game day, as vibration can loosen screws over time.
Use only the correct M-Lok hardware, and avoid over-tightening fixings.
