The VHS-2 Project Hellion M-LOK Rail

The factory Springfield Hellion handguard ships with M-LOK slots that are recessed into a tapered profile, which means the slots are not parallel to each other and accessory mounting often requires shimming or angled adapters. Weapon lights and forward grips end up canted relative to the bore, which complicates aiming with mounted illumination. The VHS-2 Project Hellion M-LOK Rail replaces the factory handguard with a flat, parallel M-LOK pattern at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock that mounts accessories cleanly without shims.

The rail comes in three lengths: Standard Length Slim (SLS), Standard Length (SL), and Extended Length (EL). The SLS variant is the lightest and slimmest profile for shooters who want minimal handguard real estate. The SL is the most popular length and matches the factory handguard footprint closely. The EL extends past the factory length for shooters who want more rail to mount lights, lasers, and forward grips.

Polymer construction is standard at $134.99. The VHS-2 Project also offers an aluminum version at $219.99 for shooters who want maximum rigidity and a more premium feel. The VHS-2 Project is the original specialty manufacturer for the Hellion and VHS-2 platforms; this rail is the most-installed handguard upgrade on the platform.
