5 HK 416 handguard
Posted by Greg on Aug 25th 2024
I bought 2 of the short versions to mount on Brownells BRN 4 uppers. The fit is absolutely perfect with no play whatsoever even before tightening the bolt. And they remove just as easily for cleaning. Also I think these are more comfortable on the hand than other 416 style handguards and are just the right width. Not too skinny and not too fat. Plus these are significantly less expensive than some of the others out there. I think they are better looking as well.

5 Excellent balance

Good choice for heavy barrel. Lighter than quad rail and still very sturdy.

5 Awesome handguard!!
Posted by Justin on Mar 17th 2024
Great handguard, it easily replaced the factory ones from HK. These have a way slimmer profile that feels way better. Very fast shipping too!!

5 Great Fit and Finish
Posted by Ethan Cook on May 25th 2023
Ordered this for my BRN-4. It fits better than the handguard from brownells and definitely looks way better. The 13.5 inch rail looks good on a 16” barrel.

4 Light, solid. Maybe too thin to avoid denting.
Posted by Matt on May 18th 2020
Pros: It's longer and lighter than the HK factory guard. Frame is thinner but seems solid to grip and for mounts. Eliminates most of the heavy, unnecessary picatinny rails of the factory guard, making it more comfortable to grip. Less mass seems to vent barrel heat better into the air and not into my hands. The factory guard was like touching a hot stove! Cons: Thin, light aluminum isn't ideal for parts that need to be rugged. But the HK is already one of the heaviest ARs--too heavy--so my priority was to reduce mass. Still, right out of the box, I already dented/scratched up this guard because it would not seat over or release from the rifle gas block without tapping with a mallet. I have since filed the contact points to eliminate that. Then some black touch up gun paint, and all is well. In the field, I don't plan to slam my rifle against a hard surface, but if I do, I expect thin aluminum and a smoother surface to be more prone to dent than the HK factory guard. Trade-offs!

5 MI Handguard for MR556
Posted by Robert M on Apr 24th 2020
Purchased a new HK MR556 rifle, but did not care for the keymod handguard - seemed a bit bulky. I researched (many) available options and found the Midwest Industries M-LOK as a direct replacement, decided to place an order. Very well made, excellent fit and finish, easy to install. Great experience with Midwest Industries - they filled my order quickly, informed me when shipped, provided tracking info. Even included a few extras like stickers and a drink 'koozie'! No issues at all. Thank you Midwest Industries!

5 As good as it gets
Posted by Jon B on Jul 27th 2017
Fit, function, and finish are second to none. Half the price of the competitors and actually in stock. Has brought my MR556 into the 20teen's. Very pleased with my purchase and thankful for the personal assistance provided by Andy and his team.
