The Midwest Industries G2 Carbine Extended Free-Float Handguard (brand part no. MCTAR-20XG2) installs in minutes and gives your barrel true free-float performance while covering more of a carbine-length build than a standard carbine handguard. The extra clearance around the barrel opens up more room to mount accessories without touching the barrel itself. Four anti-rotation QD sockets accept push-button sling swivels, and four high-quality 1913 mil-spec rails give you Picatinny real estate at all four positions. This extended-length carbine model is built specifically to be used with an A-frame front sight base and a carbine-length gas system, and it will not work with gas piston systems. Installation requires removing the factory delta ring, a one-time step that lets the two-piece design clamp directly to the barrel nut.
