That's similar to mine, but not the same brand. I don't know what my brand is, if it says I can't find it anywhere. Came with mine from the Olympic Arms factory. Been very happy with the one on mine.

It's the rail that the front vertical grip on my AR is mounted to. It allows you to mount accessories such as lights and lasers to all 4 sides and replaces the barrel shroud. That particular model also keeps level with the rail on a flat top upper receiver so that you can mount optics partly on the receiver and partly on the rail and still have the optics level. Some others have a small step so that this wouldn't be possible. Mine has a small step, so it wouldn't be ideal to mount the optics across the gap.
