Key Highlights and Features

Patent-Pending SLIC System.

The Slide Lock Integrated Channel (SLIC) offers a proprietary channel and cover system integrated into the handguard. This eliminates the need for makeshift solutions like zip-ties, tape, or ranger bands to secure wires and cables. The SLIC system conceals and protects wires and cables for a sleek and professional look while improving the functionality and aesthetics of the rifle. The channels also double as mounting points for accessories, making the rail more customizable than ever before.

Accessory Mounting Versatility.

Mounting channels machined at 2, 4, 7, and 10 o’clock positions. These positions allow users to mount M-Lok equipped accessories (lights, lasers, grips, etc.) securely and in optimal ergonomic locations, adding adaptability for a wide range of accessories, maximizing customization potential for users.

Anti-Rotational Tabs.

Anti-rotation tabs at the top and bottom of the rail are machined to 0.02″ of a mil-spec upper ensure precise mating with upper receivers (Billet and non-mil-spec uppers may not fit). These tabs help the rail and accessories stay locked in place, even in extreme conditions, enhancing stability and durability during use, and providing reliable performance under professional-grade stress.

Non-Timing Barrel Nut.

Eliminates the need to time the barrel nut during installation. Simplifies installation without sacrificing precision or reliability, reduces setup time for users, and ensures a secure and repeatable fit. Barrel nuts are available in both light-weight (1.75 oz) anodized aluminum and a heavier (4.40 oz) 4140 steel, which has been gas nitride treated for incredible corrosion resistance.

Premium Materials and Coating Options.

  1. Mark Deez

    I’ve run a lot of handguards over the years, but the Lights Out Rail blows them all away. The SLIC wire management system alone is worth it—no more zip ties or loose cables hanging off my rifle. Install was quick with the no-timing barrel nut, and once it’s on, it’s rock solid! Honestly, it’s worth every penny for that clean, refined feel.

  2. Jt Ruggiero

    The best hand guard out there from its craftsmanship to its style. Everything about it has a purpose from the cable management slots to the hardware to secure it to your rifle everything was designed for functionality of the user. Definitely worth the money can’t wait to see what else this company has in store for the community.
