The Strike Industries GridLok Lite Handguard (brand part no. GRIDLOKLITE17RED) is a 17-inch, one-piece M-LOK rail for the AR-15, finished in red aluminum. It carries over the Quick Rail Detach system from the original GridLok in a lighter, more cost-effective single-piece design, letting shooters pull the handguard off at home or in the field in seconds without tools, whether to adjust an adjustable gas block or install a suppressor. A redesigned locking button on the QD latch adds earlier, more positive locking, and a built-in flip-up backup iron sight at the front means you are never without a set of irons. Built by Strike Industries, the GridLok Lite is a fast-detach handguard with a distinctive look.
