what is made of? how much does it weigh? We don't know. My main reasons for wanting a factory rail rather than an aftermarket is that I want one that installs without tools like the polymer forend, I don't want set screws marring up the barrel, and I want something I KNOW is built to spec and doesn't need shims or slightly oversized and busting the welds

Interesting, hadn't realized it's already out there. First time I've heard of it. One would think someone, somewhere would have parted one out by now, or a third party would clone it. Anyway, I took the time to call Benelli US customer service about it.. The rep I spoke to said they don't even have the 11714 in country at all yet, it's LE only, supposedly backordered/preordered 400+ units, and, in line with what you said, they don't currently sell the handguard separately to anyone, including LE. I'll get my hands on one of these someday...

All the posts about aftermarket forends and no one is excited Benelli came out with their own..?

Looks like it's the real deal, a factory multirail handguard!!! Benelli 11714 and 11729 come with this. Anyone have part number or other info?!

Posting in case anyone comes across this thread (like me) while searching for the Sidearmor/Asgard detachable saddle... They're still being made by Asgard, but it's not on their site anymore. I was worried they're not making it anymore, but they spun off a different site, Mark Precision Design. I contacted Asgard to verify that the site was legit before ordering. Awesome product
