The Troy Industries Alpha Rail transforms AR-15 platforms with a lightweight, precision-engineered handguard that delivers superior modularity and heat dissipation. This 15-inch free-floating rail system provides extensive mounting real estate while maintaining the rifle's balance point for enhanced handling characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer handguards, the Alpha Rail features a machined aluminum construction with integrated M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The proprietary barrel nut design eliminates timing issues during installation, while the continuous top rail extends sight radius options. Heat-dissipating channels machined into the aluminum body reduce mirage and prevent heat buildup during sustained fire.Key Features
