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.

Surprised!

I’ve built dozens of AR’s for clients and a few agencies and always used Aero handguards (Atlas). This time, I was building a “truck gun “ for myself and didn’t want to spend major money on this project! I purchased this for the build and man was i surprised (and very pleased) with the quality and detail! ). Brownells did it again! Super quality and a lower cost! Very pleased!!!

Great budget build hand guard

I have many midwest industries hand guards and ive never had a problem with them or installing them. when I saw the pictures and read the description I thought this would be a great buy. it was! every bit of the quality of a midwest hand guard, very easy to install and looks , works great. light weight but very strong. great buy.

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!
