The Fortis Switch Rail Mod 2, sold here in a 15.3-inch length (brand part no. AR15-SWITCH-M2-15-ML), takes the best of the original Switch Series and tailors it to shooter feedback. Fortis Manufacturing eliminated the 12 o’clock picatinny section on the Mod 2 and replaced it with open vents, streamlining the rail’s profile and letting the shooter get a firmer grip on the smaller-diameter handguard for more effective manipulation. The vents also improve airflow off the barrel to help control heat buildup on longer strings of fire. Fortis kept a small picatinny section for back-up iron sights and added M-LOK slots up front for direct light mounting, eliminating the need for an off-set mount.
