Fortis SWITCH QD Rail System

[TripleDigitRide]

I've been trying to make up my mind on a rail for my TGO build, and I stumbled upon this. I really like the idea.

it looks like this is brand new, and only available in .308 at the time of this post. The 5.56 version is scheduled to be released "shortly".  
 

Fortis MFG's quick detach rail system SWITCHâ„¢ features a brand new mechanism that allows a tool-less removal of the rail itself for easy access to the proprietary barrel nut and gas block, and what we believe is most important, is to be able to quickly change rails for a variety of mission or competition specific setups.

These .308 versions weighs in at a mere 8.7oz for the 12” model and 10oz for the 14”. Each model will feature Keymod Slots and QD Attachment Points at the 3, 6 and 9 O'clock position as well as a full length Picatinny Rail on top.

Fortis MFG has done it again with the SWITCHâ„¢, a revolutionary design that not only looks great and feels phenomenal in hand, but is incredibly functional and adds minimal weight to the rifle - this is truly an exciting new piece of kit.

 

Specs:

 

• DPMS High Profile
• 14.76” long
• 10 oz. Rail
• Rail Body 6061 T6 Alum
• Handle 7075 T6 Alum
• Mil. Spec. Hard-coat Anodized
• 4140 heat treaded barrel nut (1-7/16 X 16 T.P.I.)
• Clamp torque setting 32 in.-lb.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who was intrigued by this new design. I plan on looking for some reviews from those who've had a chance to use them.
