SOLGW M89 vs L89

What’s the Difference between the M89 and L89?

While both handguards use the patent-pending Drive Lock System, there are a few notable differences that may lead someone to choosing one over the other:

  • The most noticeable difference is the M-LOK Slots. The L89 features 7 sided M-LOK slots, whereas the M89 retains more substantial cutouts for cooling around the handguard, reducing the quantity of M-LOK slots
  • The L89 has an internal QD sling swivel socket built in to the rear of the handguard, whereas the M89 must use an M-LOK QD sling swivel socket
  • The L89 features a titanium barrel nut, which is going to save a good amount of weight compared to the steel barrel nut in the M89 handguard
