Colt SP1
A1 Upper and Knights Armament M5 Rail
Adapter System (RAS) An overview with
pictures
The M5 Rifle RAS (Rail Adapter System) converts AR-15 and M16 rifles with
20 inch Mil-Spec barrels into the MWS (Modular
Weapon System) configuration.
The KAC (Knights Armament Co) rail system forends do not require the AR15
to be modified. They are very simply installed in place of the plastic handguards
with simple tools. The lower rail assembly is easily removed without tools
for cleaning or for attaching a grenade launcher (M203)
The M5 Rifle Rail
Adapter System (RAS) has a top and bottom half.
Like the 'Triangle Handguard' the M5
Rifle RAS has a metal heat sheild, but because
the M5 has more air circulation, it needs less
protection.
