This is a nice upgrade to my MP5 clone (AP5 full size - AP5-LT), as it's much more comfortable to grab than the factory slim handguard and it makes the look quite modern, which I like. The only reason I give it a 4-star is because of those 2 smaller screws. You will see from the manufacturer official installation video that if you strip those smaller screws, it's not warrantied, as most likely you have over-torqued. I think this is a design defect. If so many people have done the wrong thing, there got be a way to avoid this from happening, like providing a better quality screws, increasing the torque limit, changing the tightening mechanism, etc.

Bought this for my Century Arms AP5. It fits nicely. Copy clone of an HK MP5.
The feel is smooth and durable. Simple installation and makes the AP5 look way better than the original handguard.
M-lok, now I can add a laser/light combo or just light.
Overall, 5 Stars.

It took around 10 minutes to install on my MP5-22. Fit perfectly, simple instructions and looks great.

Excellent upgrade to your HK and Cloned Firearms. The only reason for a 4star and 5stars is the two smaller Allen screws will not be able to be torqued to the specific they recommend without stripping the Allen heads! I used a professional Gun smithing torque stick for that job and it was the correct torque specification and correct size Allen bit!!! I’d recommend go to your local hardware store and buy a better grade Allen screws! I’d say stainless ones would be hard enough.

The Midwest Industries top rail handguard for MP5 clones stands out as a high-quality upgrade for any MP5 platform. It offers excellent stability and strength, with a robust design that locks up tight and remains secure under repeated use. The finish is clean and professional, matching seamlessly with the rest of the firearm. Additionally, the included hardware is well-machined and makes installation straightforward, even for users with minimal experience.
One area for potential improvement is the absence of a rotationally locking QD mount. While the handguard includes standard M-Lok slots, users who rely on QD sling attachments may find this limitation inconvenient and may need to purchase an additional adapter for full functionality.
Pros:
- Finish
- Stability
- Strenght
- Hardware
