Works with B&T SMG-9-M Suppressor
I bought this Midwest Industries handguard because the similar Dakota Tactical handguard I had been using did not work with my new B&T SMG-9-M suppressor. The Midwest Industries handguard does not extend forward of the front sight base, so it does not interfere with the B&T suppressor. The MI handguard fits perfectly on my Zenith Z-5RS and comes with everything you need to install it too. I would buy it again.

Ap5
Great fitment and excellent quality. It's a way deeper black and matches the firearm better than the pictures on here depict. Never had a bad Midwest Industries product and Brownells was fast shipping and great as always.

Easy to Install, Changes Handling of MP5
This is a very easy rail to install. I purchased it to replace a Knight's Armament RAS (which I loved, but which was a little clunky). Installation is drop-in like most MP5 handguards, and no fitting was required on my POF MP5. Aside from the inherent modularity of MLOK, the rail is slim enough to change the handling of the MP5. I now can c-clamp grip the front of the MP5 behind the charging handle, which helps drive the MP5. As a side bonus, I now run a TLR VIR II at the 1:30 position which is perfect for finger activation while providing a lightweight IR/VIS combo. This is by far and away my favorite MP5 handguard on the market right now.
HK Mp5 .22lr Rifle
Alright guys and girls I took a risk on this one for the 22lr clone made by Umarex. This handguard is NOT designed for this rifle HOWEVER with a little ingenuity it CAN WORK. Is it perfect!? NOPE. But it looks great and still works. I had to chop about 1 inch off of the forward facing portion of this handguard. This allowed it to seat with the front sight cap on. I then fastened it with a bolt. Its not going anywhere BUT its not meant to be installed this way. In the end no one will know and it gave me the end result I was shooting for. I recommend to those who dont care for ultimate perfection. If so, pass on this for now u til they design a perfect fit solution. Hope this helps my .22 plinker friends! Cheers.
Rail is fine, poor quality hardware, plastic pic rail.
The rail itself is fine. Nice finish, fits well. One of the smaller screws stripped out and is now unable to be removed without drilling. But I guess it's in there pretty tight, so we'll see what happens. I did use the specified torque, using a torque wrench, but it stripped anyway. They state in the instructions that "stripped screws are not covered under warranty," which tells me they seem to know they have an issue with their screws. They did, however, send me some new screws, which unfortunately I can't use because the screw is hopelessly stripped. The pic rail section they provide is plastic, so I can't imagine when or why I would ever choose to use that. If you have a kid maybe they can use a plastic pic rail on an airsoft gun? They should save that input cost and buy some better quality screws. Or charge another buck or two and give the customer decent hardware to install this with. Pretty disappointing overall, but it will do for now. I'd tell folks to be careful with the screws, but other than following the specified torque instructions, I don't know what else you could do.
