Manticore Arms X95 Cantilever Forend (AR-15 Height) GEN 2

The factory X95 forend is short, does not free-float the barrel, and runs a top rail at a height that forces a riser for many AR-pattern optics. The Manticore Arms X95 Cantilever Forend solves all three. It is machined from 6061 milspec hardcoat-anodized aluminum with a polymer filler block, free-floats the barrel for accuracy, and runs 2 inches longer than the OEM forend for more support-hand real estate and forward accessory mounting.

The 39-slot Picatinny top rail is the headline feature. This AR-15 height version raises the rail to standard AR sight height so AR-pattern iron sights and optics co-witness without a separate riser, a meaningful simplification on a platform whose factory rail sits low. Manticore also offers an OEM-height variant of the same forend for shooters who want to keep the factory rail height. Both run 13 M-LOK slots on each side, 5 M-LOK slots on the underside, and 2 QD sling points per side.

Made in the USA under part number MA-27500. This is the most expensive single upgrade most X95 owners make, but it is also the one that most changes how the rifle mounts optics, lights, and slings. It fits the X95 exclusively; it will not fit the Tavor SAR or Tavor 7.
