The Strike Industries GRIDLOK LITE Rail - Unleash the Evolution Unleash the evolution with the Strike Industries GRIDLOK LITE Rail, designed for your AR-15. This one-piece marvel emphasizes minimal weight and affordability while retaining the ingenious Patent Pending Quick Rail Detach system. A rarity among handguards, the GRIDLOK LITE offers tool-free removal, achieved through a simple push and pull of the Quick Detach (QD) latch, liberating the handguard in seconds. This feature facilitates rapid adjustments to an adjustable gas block or the attachment/detachment of a suppressor. The QD latch is now enhanced with a novel locking button for even quicker locking. With an integrated flip-up backup iron sight (BUIS) and the ability to accommodate M-LOK accessories at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions, the GRIDLOK LITE offers versatility. At the rear, a built-in 360 degree free swivel QD socket allows for a versatile 2-point setup, while top-set screws on the SI GRIDLOK LITE's upper tabs ensure precise alignment of the upper rail. Purpose-built, the front cut accommodates suppressors up to 1.57 inches (39.9mm) in diameter (tapering to 1.42 inches (36.0mm) after 3 inches) and works seamlessly with all SI muzzle devices, including the SI OPPRESSOR. Machined from lightweight yet robust 6061-T6 aluminum, with a 7000 series aluminum barrel nut for exceptional strength, the Strike Industries GRIDLOK LITE for AR-15 inherits key features and advancements from its GRIDLOK predecessor, presenting a cost-effective, lightweight alternative.
