The Midwest Industries 20 Series Two-Piece M-LOK Handguard in the 9.5-inch carbine length is a free-float AR15 handguard that installs on a GI barrel nut (part no. MI-20XM). The two-piece design clamps together with an extremely solid lock up while staying light, at 8.4 oz installed. A monolithic continuous top rail runs its full length, and M-LOK slots give you room for lights, grips and other accessories. It is a straightforward upgrade for a carbine-length AR that needs a slimmer, stiffer handguard.
