Recommended but pay attention if you plan to use with a suppressor!! - Midwest Industries SIG Rattler M-Lok Handguards

This item is designed and made very well - as one would expect from Midwest. Since this is intended to replace the handguard on a Sig MCX Rattler or, in my case, to provide an alternative handguard for the MCX Canebrake, there is a good chance the buyer intends to shoot suppressed. BEWARE. For most suppressors, especially those with quick-disconnect collars, you would need to purchase the M.I. extended collar to put behind the muzzle device instead of the one that comes with the MCX from Sig. The Sig one is too short. My DeadAir Sandman would slide on, but the locking collar could not rotate inside the handguard. With the addition of the longer collar from M.I., I'm sure this would be resolved. The layout of the I went a different direction, but M.I. customer support was excellent in helping me figure out the problem, offering to send me the extended collar for free to see if that solved the issue and then offering to take the item back for a full refund without any hassle. Definitely buy this item. The layout of the MLok slots is better than the Sig guard and accommodates lights and such more easily. It's light and compact and machined nicely. I'm taking off 1 star for making the guard so narrow it can't accommodate most QD suppressor collars and also for not either including the longer barrel collar or clearly directing buyers to purchase it if they intend to use a suppressor.
