The Magpul MIAD Type 2 Grip Kit in Black (brand part number MAG521-BLK) is a Made in the USA, Gen 1.1, drop-in replacement for the standard AR15/AR10 pistol grip. MIAD stands for Mission Adaptable, and Magpul built the grip around interchangeable front and rear straps so you can dial in hand fit precisely, backed by an aggressive texture that keeps the grip planted under recoil. It ships standard with Magpul’s newest grip core, which holds an included 1/2 oz. lubrication bottle inside the grip itself, and it’s compatible with all Magpul grip cores for other storage options. This Type 2 kit uses taller back-straps for optimized fit with certain 7.62×51 receivers, while the Type 1 kit uses standard-height back-straps for typical .223/5.56 receivers. All mounting hardware is included, so installation is a straightforward swap on most AR-platform lowers.
