The Fortis SWITCH M1 is a free float handguard for the AR-15 platform, built from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a 7075-T6 aluminum locking handle. Its patent pending locking mechanism allows the rail to be removed without tools, so the rifle can be reconfigured quickly for a mission or a competition stage. At 10.04 oz, with a 1.7 oz barrel nut, it keeps the front of the rifle light, and the 1.34" internal diameter clears a suppressor or a low-profile gas block while the continuous top rail keeps optics and accessories mounted in line. The free float design floats the rail off the barrel to support accuracy.
