Most Helpful Positive Review Midwest Industries handguard
This handguard is sturdy and lightweight, and completely modernized my carbine. I went with the 15" version to cover all but the last inch of my 16" barrel. There is a minimal weight difference from the magpul drop in handguard, delta ring and factory railed gas block setup I had on before. I select...

Most Helpful Negative Review Scratched on arrival
Nice design poorly packaged by manufacturer. Second one I've received that's has been scratched. The handguard is butted up to the included barrel wrench and it is scratching it.they should put a small piece of protection to keep the steel wrench from contacting the aluminum guard.

Great Looking Rail

by Doug, Verified Owner from NM, United States Written on May 5, 2024
This rail is near perfect. It was by far the easiest rail I've ever installed. The fit is really good. Handrails with big gaps around the receiver look like an afterthought, but this one matches the contour of the Upper very well. The handrail is thin, light, and smooth as advertised. I've always been a fan of Daniel Defense slim rails, but this one was much easier to install and almost as good looking. For good measure they threw in a barrel nut wrench! Definite two thumbs up.

Rock Solid

by bafflingbs, Verified Owner from MD, United States Written on April 26, 2024
I put this on my LE6920, after removing the front sight post/gas block, the “D” ring and the factory barrel nut. The lockup is EXTREMELY tight! The rail itself, has alignment tabs, that are molded into it, so alignment is perfect, every time. Unlike some handrails that have removable alignment tabs. Once mounted, this rail doesn’t move! It’s extremely solid, without the added weight. I have the 15”, for the factory Colt’s 16.1” barrel. The adjustable gas-block I chose, is the Superlative, with set screws. After seeing one review that said the rail didn’t fit with the clamp-on version, I didn’t want to take a chance that it wouldn’t fit. I will say this, there seems to be plenty of room, but, again, I didn’t try the clamp-on version. And finally, the “T” marks are highlighted in white, though not as bright as the Colt receiver. That, my friends, is the only hit, I can give it. Would I recommend this? Wholeheartedly yes!
Pros:
  • extremely light
  • Rock solid alignment tabs
  • Rock solid build quality
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

good overall quality

by kdrude, Verified Owner from SD, United States Written on April 20, 2024
This is of great quality. Fits right up to my upper like it was meant to be. Everything was tight and looked even better. Stays tight and holds plenty of accessories while at the same time not adding a bunch of weight.
