The Fortis Switch 15.3 in Free-Float Handguard for AR-15, Black is a handguard that fits AR-15 15.3".

The Fortis SWITCH series is an extremely lightweight, yet robust free float rail system designed for the AR platform. When designing the SWITCH, we wanted a handguard that was easy to install, but also be able to quickly change rails for a variety of mission or competition specific setups. The rail features a brand new patent pending locking mechanism that allows tool-less removal of the rail.

A handguard protects your support hand from barrel heat and gives you room to mount lights, grips and other accessories. Check the length and fitting type against your rifle — drop-in handguards fit between the delta ring and handguard cap, while free-float handguards use their own barrel nut.
