RAIL INSTALLATION USING A SCOPE MOUNT
-
The Handguard itself was easy to install. It is not compatible with the Handguard cap so I had to remove it which took a bit. After installing I took it to the range and it held up well. Looks and functions great!
-
Used it for a 14.5 FSP midlength build, and it is extremely solid. Great rail!
-
Follow the instructions on the film provided by MI. I recommend removing the gas tube as it removes any possibility of damage. Wrap the barrel and receiver with rags. I also wrapped the areas with an old leather cinch latigo. Cutting the delta ring with a rotary tool is easy. Removing the end cap behind the FSP is another issue. On a Colt barrel the end cap is not flimsy, it's hard ass steel. Bend/break sections till you get enough clearance. It's not coming out. The free float handguard is very solid and improves rifle utility and gets rid of the ugly plastic Colt handguards. Absolutely love it. Fit is perfect.

Followed the installation instructions went on no problems
Solid rail fit and finish is excellent
A nice upgrade for your AR15

Excellent fit. Excellent look. I shot the rifle after mounting to make sure it was zeroed with my optic and it was a pleasure. My son then shot it and fell in love with it . I ended up giving it to him lol.

This is the second handguard I’ve purchased from Midwest Industries. Excellent fit and finish very happy with this purchase.

Really satisfied with this product. Very nice fitting and looks great! Install prep was a little bit of a pain but im also not an armorer. So beware and be careful if you're doing this install yourself. But overall great product!

Great forearm! Rigid, straight and clamps down solid. Great value.

The rail is exactly what you come to expect from Midwest Industries “Perfect”! The fit and finish is top notch and the rail fits like a glove.
