The Midwest Industries G2 Mid-Length Two-Piece Drop-In Handguard (brand part no. MCTAR-18G2) installs onto a mid-length gas system AR-15 just like a factory plastic handguard, but adds the rail space you need to run modern accessories. Its Gen 2 design includes four anti-rotation QD sockets for push-button sling swivels, giving you mounting flexibility on either side or the bottom of the rifle. Midwest Industries constructs it from 6061 aluminum and hard coat anodizes it for a durable, black, mil-spec finish. It is compatible with most gas piston systems, so it is not limited to direct-impingement builds. At 11.05 inches long, it covers a standard mid-length gas system without extending past the front sight base.
