Great drop in replacement! - Midwest Industries Gen2 Two-Piece Drop-In Handguard

Rich's Review of Midwest Industries Gen2 Two-Piece Drop-In Handguard
Ordered the Midwest Industries Gen2 Two-Piece Drop-In Handguard in Carbine length to fit to my PSA 10.5" 5.56 AR pistol with Front Sight Base. If you don't have a Hercules grip, you will need an AR delta ring handguard removal tool to get these bad boys on. The handguard fits TIGHT. It's a quality piece of kit that will not move or rattle once installed. It's also one of the lightest quad rails on the market, because of the extensive machining that MI does to these parts. I've used Knights Armaments Mil-Spec rails on my issued rifles, a UTG Pro on my personal AR, and now these. I can say that I like the Midwest rails the best. The KAC and UTG rails are heavier, and if you're building a Pistol/SBR and trying to keep weight down, these are great. The UTG Pro rails are nice too, and cheaper, but the Midwest rails saving a couple of ounces is worth the extra bucks especially if you're planning on adding accessories, which is probably the idea, if you're swapping out your standard handguard to a rail system.
I'd say 4.5 stars if you're concerned about getting these on and off your weapon, because they really are a tight fit, but that's what's so nice about them also.

Cons:
