Frequently Asked Questions
What handguard systems are compatible with the Fortis Shift Handstop?
The Fortis Shift Handstop is designed specifically for M-LOK compatible handguards. If your AR-15 free-float or drop-in handguard features M-LOK attachment slots, the Shift will mount directly without any adapters. It is not compatible with KeyMod or Picatinny-only rail systems unless you use a separate M-LOK-to-Picatinny adapter.
Is the Fortis Shift Handstop legal to use in California?
The Fortis Shift Handstop is a handstop — not a vertical foregrip — and is generally considered compliant for use on California-configured "featureless" or fixed-magazine AR-15 builds. However, firearm laws are complex and subject to change. We always recommend consulting a qualified firearms attorney or your local law enforcement agency to confirm compliance with current California regulations before making modifications to your rifle.
Can the Shift Handstop be used on an AR-10 or other MSR platforms?
Yes — as long as your rifle's handguard features M-LOK slots, the Fortis Shift Handstop can be used on AR-10 builds, PCC carbines, and other modern sporting rifles. The M-LOK standard is widely adopted across platforms, making the Shift a versatile accessory beyond the AR-15 alone.
