Solid handguard once installed - Midwest Industries Gen2 Two-Piece Drop-In Handguard

After reading review after review on how great and simple this handguard is, I pulled the trigger and tried slapping it on my Springfield. The only problem, and something I didn’t see in the product description or in any of the reviews I read, was that I had the wrong shaped handguard end cap installed on my rifle and the new handguard i purchased wouldn’t snap into place. I had to take my rifle to a local gunsmith and it even took them a little while to figure out why it wasn’t snapping in. And on what was supposed to be a quick drop in installation turned into me having to take it to a gunsmith to take off the gas block and change the end plate so the handguard would fit. But all in all after it’s on I’m still really pleased with the quality and the look of the product and would still recommend it to others.
