area of upper receivers and railed hand guards for the M16 / AR15 family of rifles to address the demands of modern warfare and the needs of our modern war fighters this has resulted in several innovative products: CASV (adopted by U.S Navy EOD Teams) Gen 1 VIS VIS-A5 VIS KeyMod The VIS SL is the newest product in this evolution and is based on lessons learned from over a decade of continual combat operations. All VIS receivers are a monolithic railed upper receiver that are of polylithic construction, two components that are permanently bonded together prior to machining of the 12 oclock rail. This allows free f loating of the barrel without the increased stresses placed on the bolt and barrel extension portion of the upper receiver that traditional rail/ hand guard systems exhibit. Traditional rail/ hand guard systems have 100% of the rail / hand guard weight and the weight of any enablers used supported only by the barrel nut on the relatively short barrel extensionThe hand guard body along the 3:00 and 9:00 positions between the four short sections of fixed M1913 rails is slimed down offering the fallowing enhancements: The transition between the slim section and the fixed M1913 rails gives the shooter: Enhanced ergonomics, lowers the profile of the system in the primary griping area Integrated hand stop Integrated index points Integrated thumb rest / *thumb rest [generic]* The slim section is textured for enhanced grip to aid the shooter with: Driving the muzzle between targets CQB muzzle strikes CQB weapons retention Side bracing in a improvised rest ( window or door jamb) KeyMod direct mounting points at the 1:30 and 10:30 positions are not designed to accept rails they are optimized for low profile mounting of KeyMod enablers such as: Offset iron sights Offset Mini Red Dot (MRD) CQB sights Visible Lights The bottom of the hand guard along the 6:00 position incorporates the following features: Removable lower hand guard for M203 mounting Wide flat bottom that aids in a improvised rest No mounting points in the 4:30 and 7:30 this lowers the profile of the system in the primary griping area Full length KeyMod along the 6:00 oclock position VIS SL incorporates key features to support legacy M1913 enablers as well as emerging KeyMod enablers while also incorporating features that enhance the shooter to weapon interface in a slim and light package. No KeyMod holes are present in this area to eliminate the pinch and snag hazards they would present in a CQB environment. This texture is aggressive enough that many shooters dont feel the need for a add on hand stop or angled fore grip device in the 6:00 oclock position of the hand guard
