Catalyst Arms, LLC, a firearms accessory company, has introduced Fast Track™, a true precision rifle handguard for AR-15s and the Ruger Precision Rifle. Designed for precision rifle competitors and long-range shooters, Fast Track™ has the features they have asked for in a handguard such as an integrated Arca Swiss style rail, flat sides and bottom, a smooth top for greater scope clearance and M-LOK® slots for accessories.
Fast Track™ has an Arca Swiss style rail the full length of the bottom of the handguard. This provides maximum versatility for mounting directly to tripods or attaching accessories that can be quickly moved forward or backward as the shooting situation requires. Unlike add on rails that stop well before the magazine well, Fast Track’s full-length rail allows shooters to put the rifle action up against barricades or mount tripods as far back as possible for maximum stability. The integrated rail is also a non-snag design that will not hang up on gear or while sliding the rifle back and forth or getting into position. The flat sides and bottom make the Fast Track™ much more stable than round handguards when shooting from bags, barricades, packs or other surfaces. A low-profile top provides maximum scope clearance for mounting optics as close to the bore as possible. M-LOK® slots run the length of the handguard at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions for mounting other rails or accessories. For ease of installation Fast Track™ attaches to both AR-15s and Ruger Precision Rifles via a dual barrel nut system that is easy to align and torque to proper specification.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard coat anodized black, the Fast Track™ is lightweight and has a slim profile that is easy to hold and maneuver.
