The ADE PRO handguard was designed by Ade Advanced Optics right here in Oregon with the goal of being the lightest and smallest free floating forend. The width of the handguard before accessories have been installed is only 1.49".
Proudly Made in USA! Ade Advanced Optics introduced this new rail in ShotShow 2017, this is the first batch we received.

Great USA made product
Optics Factory has consistently had great products at great prices. This rail is a great one at a very reasonable price. Install was simple and quick. Highly recommend this line of rails over the super costly big name ones!

Lightweight & Tough
As skeletonized as it appears (I expect this is the reasoning behind the use of T7075 aluminum), this handguard has everything you need for your AR. Plenty of Keymod and Picatinny space and it is slender. There is no question that this aids in rapid-fire cooling of the barrel due to the openness of construction. I like the steel nut to secure the barrel/handguard to and the positive 6-screw mounting of the handguard to the nut. If you're attempting to build a lightweight AR, it would be difficult to improve on this product for that purpose.
