Fortis Switch MOD 1 Free Float M-LOK Handguard Rail 13 in is a lightweight, robust free-float AR-15 rail system. It features a patent-pending locking mechanism that allows tool-less removal of the rail for fast configuration changes. Up-front M-LOK sections provide flexible mounting options for accessories directly to the rail without needing additional off-set light mounts. The 13-inch length is engineered to work well with most direct-thread suppressors on a 13.7-inch barrel for a minimal gap and a clean, streamlined look.
