The Daniel Defense 12.0 Free Float Rail System
was the first handguard designed and bulit by Daniel Defense and it is
a tremendous upgrade for users who require a light and rugged rifle
with long range capability.
This rail is machined from the
highest quality aircraft grade hardened aluminum yet it only weighs 13
ounces (including the threaded ring, barrel nut, and indexing pins)!
The high strength and low weight of this remarkable handguard
contributed greatly to its adoption by the United States Army for the
Squad Designated Marksman Rifle program.
The Daniel Defense
12.0 rail system helped deploying Army units issue a squad level
precision rilfe that bridges the gap between infantry rifleman and a
battalion level sniper asset.
The 12.0 handguard was designed
to work with the AR15 riflelength gas system. It will also work with
the carbine or the midlength gas system with a milled gas block that
will fit under the handguard.
Rails are 1913 Mil-Spec and are
100% checked for conformity. Every rail comes with either ladders or
panels which are made from santoprene, which can handle heat up to 350
degrees.
