The short answer is no. Handguards are not universal and interchangeable. That said, Midwest Industries designs handguards to fit a wide variety of barrel lengths, firearms, and attachment styles. They even have one-piece and two-piece handguards, so you can choose one that best fits your shooting style. Whether you're shopping for a handguard for a sporting rifle with a 16-inch barrel or a long-range competition firearm with a 20-inch barrel, Midwest Industries has you covered.
Both M-LOK and Picatinny rails are attachment styles for different firearm accessories. Generally, you'll find Picatinny rails on top of the handguard and forend, as this is the most common attachment style for rifle scopes and red dot sights. As for M-LOK, this is a common type of attachment system for other accessories that go toward the front of the weapon, like vertical foregrips, laser sights, and bipods. Another common attachment type for these accessories is called Key Mod.
M-LOK is short for "modular lock," which refers to how the attachment system works. Since it is modular, it fits a wide variety of attachments. The lock part of the term refers to how the accessories fit into the M-LOK slot and lock in place.
