I am thinking about picking one of these up but am on the fence.

Does anybody have any experience with the fortis switch rail in 5.56.  I am thinking about picking one up, however, am a bit curious on the durability of the design and the anti rotation properties.

If you have used this rail, is there any anti rotation tabs or something similar to keep the rail from rotating?  How well does the clamping device hold?

I have one on my 308.   It locks up tight and its light weight.

I have the 308 version of the rail and so far I like it a lot. The barrel nut it come with does not have an anti rotation but Fortis sells a barrel nut that does. Several people told me that the metal where it locks has broken on them. However I have not had that problem. Fortis makes great rails from my experience. I have a rev II on another rifle.
