Fortis Switch Mod 2 9.6-inch M-LOK Handguard

Description

The Fortis Switch MOD 2 9.6-inch handguard is a lightweight free-float rail designed for AR-15 platforms. It replaces the 12 o’clock Picatinny section with open vents for improved airflow and a slimmer profile, while retaining a small section for backup iron sights. Forward M-LOK sections provide direct mounting for lights and accessories, and the design includes a patent-pending tool-less locking mechanism for quick rail changes.
