By popular demand, the Vltor CASV-ELX! This is the CASV-EL handguard, but without the full five-piece rail kit...

Vltor received a lot of feedback from people that  the simplicity of the CASV, the fact that it is not covered with rails, and wanted to buy the CASV-EL without the standard rail kit. So here it is: The time proven CASV-EL Handguard and one 2" rail, for the discerning minimalist.

The Vltor CASV-EL Handguard, specifically developed for the US Navy E.O.D. Groups (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), the CASV has become a battle proven, rigid mounting platform, respected by its end users. The Model that the Navy Bomb Squad uses is the CASV-ELT (Extended Length), in the color Flat Dark Earth.

The Vltor CASV-EL is one of the simplest rail systems to install, and doesn’t requires any special installation tools. Each handguard assembly has a rigid, continuous rail section along the top, and comes with a removable lower shield and removable rail sections that allow the user to install rail sections where needed.

The Vltor CASV-EL fits all M4 style carbines with a flat-top receiver and a carbine-length gas system. The CASV-EL system will not work with Mid-length or Rifle length gas systems.

The installation of this handguard does not require any modifications to the firearm except for the removal of the sight tower sling swivel (if your carbine is equipped with one).
