MADE IN THE USA!
This is the first aftermarket rail for the Springfield Hellion/VHS-2. They are made via additive manufacturing, and are now available in 3 versions: Standard Length Slim (SLS), Standard Length (SL), and Extended Length (EL).
SLS: 4 columns of M-Lok® on 5 sides, weighing 2.75 ounces, and only 1.7 inches wide; the SLS is a more streamlined version of the original SL rail.
SL: 4 columns of M-Lok® on 5 sides the standard length rail is only 1/4" longer than the stock handguard and weighs 2.99 ounces. This rail gives you a little more width if you have large hands.
EL: 6 columns of M-Lok® on 5 sides, plus 2 additional rows under the 1913 rail, the extended rail offers plenty of options for mounting accessories. Plus, it's only 4" longer than the stock handguard and weighs 5.43 ounces.
The stock handguard comes in at 3.74 ounces.
PAHT-CF has a Heat Deflection Temperature of 194°C (381°F) and has been tested with a Griffin Armament Recce 5.
DO NOT use the extended rail on a 16" Hellion, unless there is a muzzle device that extends past the end of the rail.
There is NO guarantee on the MOA of the top rail on the extended rail. In testing, myself and an independent tester have had success using it as a laser aiming module (LAM) host. However, with pressure applied, in any direction, it is possible to throw the LAM’s zero off.

Fits nicely, adds a lot more mounting options
Handguard fit fine, looks great
Seems to be a well made product. Not sure how durable it is but for normal use its more then adequate. The installation was VERY tight and I needed a small rubber mallet to seat it all the way. I have a vertical grip installed and everything g is tight and has zero wiggle, but being 3D printed I'm not sure on thr strength of the part. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and am looking forward to more products form VHS-2 Project!
Love the extended rail! This should be the standard for Hellions with 20 inch barrels.
Not giving a 5 star until I play with them more and see how they hold up to my abuse. Mainly range day. I like the handguard. It fits tight. I did have to drill the holes a little as the pin didn’t slide through. It was cocked off to the side a bit. But it looks great. Feels pretty good. Mag well is flared and a great fit. The extended safety button cover fits like a glove and makes it a bit easier to eject the mag. The forward bolt release is a great concept but a little weird as I have gotten used to the bolt release where it is. I have to find my style to use properly. I am sure that I will get there. Hope all the pieces hold up. They do appear well made. Thanks.
