Midwest industries are the only handguards i'll use. - Midwest Industries SP Series AR-15 M-LOK Handguard

My dad had an old, used parts-bin rifle that someone slapped together with spit and duct tape. Had good bones, but the guy who put it together clearly didn't know what he was doing. Decided it might be time to redecorate it. Between this beefy handguard and a new Ballistic Advantage Hanson barrel, I got his rifle looking mighty sharp. Fantastic machining in the handguard as well as finish. Looks perfect all around and not a single burr seen or felt. Shaved just under 1.5 lbs off the front end of it between this and the barrel. Points very quickly and precisely now. The big guy couldn't be happier with it. He's got big paws, so he appreciates the over-sized handguard diameter. If you're in the Large-XL category of hands, this is the handguard for you. Also, if you want to build a pistol with an oversized handguard to slip a suppressor in to act as a bit of a heat shield, this would also work if the suppressor is skinny enough, but I digress. Either way, I recommend you get a proper armorer's wrench to put it on. Spend a little money and get one if you ever plan to build or customize more than 1 AR. And a quality upper clamshell vice block. Dont be cheap. Learn from my mistakes! The wrench it comes with works...kinda. but my MI armorer's wrench made short work of it without marring or damaging the barrel nut. Wouldn't suspect the same from the included one, but admittedly I didn't try it.
