Reviews & Ratings for Midwest Industries DPMS .308/7.62 NATO SS-Series One Piece Free Float Handguard — 8 reviews — Page 1

This is a nice finish to my 6.5 Creedmoor build. As you know, ar parts re hard to come by right now. OpticsPlanet had the goods
so I was finally able to complete this build. Great service even when parts are scarce.

Lightweight and durable hand guard at a cheap price. Fits an Aero Precision upper perfectly. The attachments screws at the bottom tighten down great. Wish they were integrated and not set below, but works better than expected.

Okay this handguard wouldn't be my first or second choice but in this year of extremely limited options, this model turned out to be a pretty nice compromise. It's VERY easy to install and comes with a torque wrench for the included barrel nut. This nut mated with my Aero Precision M5 upper receiver perfectly. The barrel nut does require timing so that the gas tube can fit correctly. Contrary to the other reviewer who said the handguard required fitting, that is not the case. I simply used a pic rail scope mount to line up the receiver and handguard pic rails BEFORE tightening the handguard. This will insure proper alignment. The finish on the handguard is a matte black but it has been applied perfectly. The handguard was a bit dusty upon opening of the package but it easily wiped off. The handguard itself is very lightweight despite the full-length pic rail. It's also very strong. The overall feel is really good and I didn't find any 'sharp' edges on the pic rail. My only negative (which I took off a star) is that the barrel nut is not covered by the rail. In fact, there's a slight gap that exposes the barrel nut -- which is more of a cosmetic issue. That being said, it's an effective design that works to my satisfaction.

Nearly perfect fit on my Aero Precision M5 upper. When torqued to the recommended spec the rail is just the smallest hair out of alignment with the upper receivers rail. I don't think most people would notice. Other wise very well made and looks great on my M5 upper lower in 6.5 creedmoor build.

So far so good: install like it should and looks good. Fit was good was worry about that since I was using a unknown upper that I bought from a small dealer that had a few things brought in for a consignment sale

This handguard is easy to install. Solid quality product, It comes with the tools you need to install it. I definitely recommend it to others. Optics planet had the best price I could find on this handguard as well. It was shipped fast and arrived packaged well.

I'm very impressed with the overall fit and ease of assembly.
The appearance is very good.
I've installed this on my 6.5 Creedmore and the groups are very tight, thus the overall stiffness is as wanted.
The quality is in line with other more expensive products.
