Just In: Rare Knight’s Armament M4 & M5 RAS Forends – Limited Quantities Available

If you’re a collector, builder, or military rifle enthusiast, now’s the time to act. MOD Armory just added two authentic Knight’s Armament Rail Adapter System (RAS) forends to our store—both with exceptional provenance and field-ready functionality.


KAC M4 RAS Forend Assembly – 2006 Manufacture

This classic KAC M4 RAS is a drop-in quad rail system originally issued for M4 carbines. Manufactured in 2006 and built to strict military standards, it offers rugged reliability and compatibility with standard issue handguards and mounting hardware.

Perfect for cloning a military-correct carbine or just upgrading your current build with a trusted piece of Knight’s history.

KAC M5 RAS Forend Assembly – Rare Vero Beach Model

This is the real gem: a rare Vero Beach–marked KAC M5 RAS, made for M16A2-style rifles. The Vero Beach stamp marks its place in the early lineage of Knight’s Armament production—before the company fully transitioned manufacturing to Titusville, FL.

Built to interface with the M16A2 front sight and delta ring, this M5 is a drop-in system with a reputation for rugged field use and excellent heat dissipation.
