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.

Its a great rail because the sides are flat compare to the original which is more curve on the sides. My only issues with this rail is the surface texture is not smooth so when you try to lock it in, the rail does not slide as easily as factory rail..
The handguard fit fine on my Hellion but the retaining pin could not be pushed through by fingers like the factory one. I had to elongate the holes in the handguard make that possible. I don't think I should have had to do that.
Supremely pleased with this handguard, massive improvement over the OEM in every way to the degree that Springfield/HS Produkt should really switch to this design. Stiffer and less flimsy feeling than the original, no weirdly angled mlok with an extra set of slots for a total of 4 compared to 3 before, and a somewhat coarse texture that while probably a result of the 3D printing still gives a decent grip. I will likely upgrade to the aluminum version at some point but for the money this is a no brainer.
