Paul's Review of Fortis Manufacturing Night Rail Free Float Rail System

I hope this review will help any of you looking to use this handguard before getting too deep into a build. First off, the handguard itself is great. Two QD attachment spots on the proximal and distal ends of the guard, full picatinny rail on top, and very light weight. Now here are my issues with it. For the price, you get a terrible little tool to tighten the barrel nut onto your upper receiver. It is made of this really soft metal, is deformed easily, and is basically only good for a one time use. Now you can go buy a replacement tool from Fortis for like $20 if you wanted. The nut that is used to tightly secure the handguard is effective, but it is a pain in the butt if you wanted to quickly remove the handguard. I'd look into Geissele's modular handguard instead.
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • sleek
  • Good fit once on
  • multiple QD attachments
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • weak tool
  • teeth on barrel nut are weak
