The XG Picatinny Hand Guard for Galil sharpshooters consolidates the light weight of a standard hand watch with measured flexibility. The XG Picatinny Hand Guard permits the connection of the Picatinny rail segments and different accessories for the immediate mounting of strategic lights, slings, grips, and more. Reinforced, heat-resistant aluminum construction provides operational durability without the weight and expense of an aluminum rail hand guard. Front extensions and lower lip provides additional operator protection from hot front sight assembly.
