Alternative redesign of the ORCA handguard to improve M-LOK compatibility and overall utility, featuring a straightened top rail in place of the original curved design, Available in both a standard 10-inch and a compact 8.5-inch variant.
Development Status
-
Alpha Phase: Completed
The alpha prototype has undergone successful testing focused on: -
durability, Print tolerance and assembly fit
Results confirm structural integrity under controlled testing conditions.
-
Current Phase: Public Beta Release
The project has entered public beta, opening access to the design files for broader community evaluation. The goal of this phase is to collect user feedback on: -
Printability across different printers and materials
- Long-term durability and wear resistance
- Ease of assembly and potential tolerance adjustments
- Overall performance consistency
It is planned to expand this design and aesthetic into a full custom ORCA kit in future
