Description
The GrovTec 2.2 inch 5-slot Stock AR Picatinny rail is a straightforward way to get a real mounting surface on an AR without tearing off your factory forearm. It measures 2.2 inches and packs five slots into a compact footprint, which makes it a good pick when you just need a short stretch of rail for a light, laser, or small optic rather than a full-length handguard rebuild.
Built Around the MIL-STD 1913 Pattern
This rail follows the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny spec, so it plays nice with the huge range of Pic-mount accessories already out there. Lasers, sights, scopes, bipod adaptors, and other gear all clamp on the way they should. Beveled ends knock down the sharp corners that love to snag on gear and clothing, which is a small touch you appreciate every time you handle the gun.
Machined and Finished to Take a Beating
GrovTec cuts these from lightweight solid aluminum on CNC equipment, then hits them with a Type III black hard anodize. That finish is the tough stuff, so it holds up to wear and shrugs off corrosion better than a basic anodize. It stays low profile and light, so you are not adding meaningful weight to add capability.
Installing the Stock AR Rail Section
Mounting hardware and an allen key come in the box, so you can get it on without a trip to the parts bin. The kit uses a sandwich-style setup with two 10-32 hex head screws at .375 inch length, two washers, and two flat threaded backplates. Hole spacing on the 2.2 inch model runs from a minimum of 1.20 inches to a maximum of 1.50 inches, which covers standard stock AR forearm layouts. It is a proven fit for AR-platform builds, and folks have adapted these sections to other flat-surface projects too when they need a bit of rail in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will this Stock AR Picatinny rail fit?
It is designed for stock AR-platform forearms, with hole spacing that runs from 1.20 to 1.50 inches to match standard layouts. The sandwich-style hardware clamps the rail in place using your existing forearm holes. Some builders have also adapted these sections to other flat surfaces when they needed a short stretch of rail.
Does the rail come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Each rail ships with two 10-32 hex head screws at .375 inch length, two washers, two flat threaded backplates, and an allen key. That gives you everything needed for the sandwich-style install right out of the box.
What accessories can I mount on this rail?
Since it uses the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny pattern, it accepts the wide range of standard Pic-mount gear. That includes lasers, weapon lights, sights, small optics, and bipod or accessory adaptors. If your gear clamps to a Picatinny rail, it should seat right onto this section.
Is the 2.2 inch rail durable enough for regular use?
It is CNC machined from solid aluminum and finished with a Type III black hard anodize, which is the tougher, more wear- and corrosion-resistant grade of anodizing. The beveled ends also cut down on snagging and sharp edges. It stays lightweight while giving your accessories a stable mounting point.
