What Handguard Fits This Upper...?

[Spec.-K]

I recently picked up this Mega upper, and I'm not entirely sure what handguard will fit it.
It resembles the Aero Enhanced Upper, but I'm not certain if the handguard for an Aero will work.
Any experience would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I think this is the one they got sued out of existence by LMT it is a proprietary upper and good luck finding a rail to work with it

I believe that was the Zev Mega MML system. I don't think it's been made for several years now.

It might be worth trying an Aero handguard on it, but I wouldn't have high expectations of it fitting. Make sure they'll take it back before you purchase.

Your best bet is to setup alerts on the major AR platforms classifieds.

Rainier Arms in Auburn used to be a Mega dealer.
They might have some knowledge.

Thanks guys.
It does appear to be the MML type.
I'm not finding much available.
Worst case scenario, I have to run it as a naked rifle...

Everyone knows you never go full proprietary!

They got sued over the "Monolithic" rail as I recall.

OP regardless have you reached out to Zev to see if they have anything around still?
ETA shout out to JSE Surplus to see if they have anything around still. They used to have some Mega odds and ends back in the day.

That's where I found the Mega barrel nut wrench for a 308 MML upper that found its way to me.
OP does yours have the barrel nut? The wrench for the 308 is a foot long pipe that slides over the barrel with a tab welded on with a slot for a torque wrench and notches cut in the other end for the castle type barrel nut.

Yes, it does have a barrel nut.
I have a barrel nut wrench from a Mega Monolithic upper I built for a family member, so I'm pretty sure that will work.
I also have a Zev MML 308 Handguard, but not the barrel nut or proprietary upper...
