Remington Defense has a new rifle hand guard called the RAHG, Remington Accessory Hand Guard. Remington differentiates its tubular aluminum hand guard from the competition in two major ways.
First, the hand guard will come in two widths, 2 and 2.5 inches, to accommodate shooters that want either the feel of a slimmer hand guard or the comfort associated with the heat dissipating qualities of a larger diameter hand guard.
The second differentiator is Remington's use of Timesert inserts that provide fixed, helicoil-style screw out mounts for the movable rail sections. Remington says the Timeserts will withstand 250 pounds of linear pull forces and lugs on the backside of the rail sections further strengthen the interface by providing significant shear force resistance.
Versions will be available in carbine ands rifle lengths, as well as a separate pair made to accommodate the HK416. Pricing is not yet available, but Remington says they hope to have the rails shipping before SHOT Show 2013.
