The Midwest Industries Combat Lightweight Handguard is a 14-inch, free-float M-Lok handguard built with a slim, lightweight profile for AR-15 rifles (brand part no. MICRLW14). Midwest Industries machines it from 6061 aluminum with a black hardcoat anodized finish and adds a continuous 1913 Picatinny top rail along with two integral anti-rotation QD sling sockets. A 4140 heat-treated barrel nut and torque plate secure it to the upper receiver, and every edge is fully dehorned and deburred for snag-free handling. It ships with the barrel nut, wrench, and a 5-slot polymer M-Lok rail, and is made in the USA.
