The Noveske NSR (Noveske Skinny Rail) 9-Inch M-LOK Free-Float Handguard (Noveske part no. 05000565) was engineered by Noveske to be one of the lightest, slimmest free-float forends available for the AR-15 platform. Its M-LOK attachment system, developed jointly by Magpul and Noveske Rifleworks, opens up mounting points across the rail without adding the bulk of a full-length Picatinny surface. Finished in black, the 9-inch handguard is built for shooters chasing the lowest possible weight on a build without sacrificing rigidity. If you have never run M-LOK, this is the rail that made the case for it.
