Fortis Manufacturing 308-SWITCH-M2-17-ML, Inc. Switch, Handguard, Black, Fits DPMS High Profile 308

Overview

The Fortis Switch M2 17-inch handguard is a lightweight and robust free-float rail system engineered specifically for the DPMS high-profile AR-10 platform. It features a patent-pending locking mechanism that allows for tool-less removal and quick changes of rails for various mission or competition setups. The design eliminates the traditional 12 o'clock Picatinny section in favor of open venting, which improves airflow from the barrel, reduces heat buildup, and provides a streamlined profile while retaining a small section at the front for backup iron sights. M-LOK slots are positioned at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock locations as well as off-set angles for direct mounting of lights and accessories. Constructed from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a 7075-T6 aluminum locking handle, the handguard is finished with a hard-coat anodized black coating. It utilizes a heat-treated 4140 barrel nut (1-7/16 x 16 T.P.I.) requiring a spanner wrench for installation. The unit has an internal diameter of 1.51 inches and is manufactured in the USA.
