Swiss arms forward grip?

Just buy the bolt on lower mount for the handguard they also have two small side mount rails bolt on aswell, TSE sells them.
There is also a quad rail buts really pricey for what it is, extra weight and does not even free float.

Bolt on rails on a plastic hand guard is always a bad idea, cheap and "uber cool" on a safe queen rifle, but not very safe as they can cause the hand guard to be popped off by the shooter putting sideways torque on the vert grip. In a pinch , good for flashlights and other doodads, but never a vert grip.
There is a reason why quality "quad rails" cost money.

My friend put an AR15 picatinny rail onto the bottom of his hand guard, attaching it with pattern resien and the included nuts & bolts.
He has never had it "pop" off doing any of his wacky stuff at the range

You mean it hasn't popped the hand guard off YET.
The Swiss arms rail is quality BUT the way it attaches is crap and makes it even way more heavy! It is not much better than the handguard with bottom rail bolted on.
AR15 rails are way more secure and free float, the good ones.

B&T makes rails for the 550, 551 & 552. All of these rails work with the Canadian SAN arms rifles.
The rails attach securely through the lower reciever pin and to the rear of the gas block. They add no more weight to the rifle than the weight of the rail minus the handguards, which is insignificant. You will no longer be able to use the supplied bipod (if you have the rifle) as it won't work with the rail.
Try TSE; they have carbine rails in stock and get the rifle length from time to time.
