The Strike Industries STRIKERAIL transforms your AR-15 into a precision platform with its lightweight aluminum construction and full-length M-LOK compatibility. This 17-inch free-float handguard eliminates barrel harmonics interference while providing extensive mounting real estate for accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer handguards, the STRIKERAIL features a proprietary aluminum extrusion that reduces weight by 15% compared to traditional quad rails while maintaining structural rigidity. The continuous M-LOK slots run the full length of the handguard, offering more mounting positions than segmented designs. Strike Industries' red anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and maintains color consistency under UV exposure.

Field testing demonstrates the STRIKERAIL maintains zero through temperature fluctuations from -10°F to 140°F.
