Good option for an affordable handguard

I like the Midwest handguards so I tried one of these since they make them for Brownells I had read. Quality, fit and finish are great as is the value to price. M-lok slots at 3/6/9 but no picatinny rails included. Steel barrel nut, wrench, retainer and bolts with instructions and torque values included. Will buy again.

Good value

Made by Midwest industries for Brownell’s,anti rotation tabs and a steel barrel nut. These are very nice handguards. The lock up is nice, I just don’t have anything negative to say about this product. So looking for a good hand guard to spruce up that rifle. This is it.

These are made by Midwest Industries!

These are identical in every way, from design, finish, patented securing system, even down to the barrel nut wrench with Midwest Industries slim lightweight free float rails. This is a phenomenal buy!

Nice M-LOK hand guard

I bought this hand guard and 2 others manufactured by MidWest Industries to upgrade a couple of older AR's. One of the guns to be upgraded was a DPMS with the bull barrel. The barrel nut on this handguard has a 1.005 inside diameter. The barrel needed 1.055. I talked with Midwest Industries and they don't make a barrel nut with that dimension. It's sad when they don't publish the dimension and then don't really care about your problem after paying good money for their product. I took the barrel nut to a machine shop and had them mill the diameter open to 1.06 so it fits. I'm happy with the hand guard but think the manufacturer should listen to customers and make an attempt to solve this type of problem. Machine shop cost: $80
