The Midwest Industries Gen 2 Handguard (brand part number MCTAR-17G2) is a 7-inch, two-piece drop-in handguard machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in black hard-coat anodizing for corrosion and wear resistance. Built specifically for rifles with A2 front sights, the two-piece design clamps into place without a gunsmith, and it fits most gas piston rifles as well as standard direct-impingement AR-15s. The Picatinny-profile top rail gives a continuous mounting surface for optics or accessories running forward from the receiver.
