Great looking handgaurd, MI! A question - my stock carbine length handgaurd has quite a bit of up and down movement making my irons pretty much useless. Does your handgaurd lock up tightly to the reciever, with no movement? In all of our testing and with handling a fairly large sample size of guns including my personal pistol, I have see no movement. I have my iron sights zeroed and am very happy with the accuracy. We have shipped a lot of these handguards and have not had any complaints. All of that said, if you buy it from us and are not happy we will gladly give you a refund. Respectfully, Pete |

You guys have made a very fine handguard, I own one, it’s well made and I appreciate that you’re providing a service to MPX owners. I’m actually planning on buying another. So, no disrespect, and don’t take this the wrong way, but... What’s with the angled cut on the front bottom? I dislike the look of it, and it reduces the available MLOK slots by 1/2 of a slot. What’s the rationale behind the angle?

I guess it's just personal preference. I LOVE the way the angled cut on the bottom looks. The half slot is enough for what I needed (AFG).

I ordered an 8" version to replace my Lancer, as I just bought a Dead Air Wolf-9SD suppressor to replace my Omega 9K and the diameter is larger and the cross-section of the Lancer is too constricting at the top to adequately clear it.
When doing the math on the OD of the Wolf-9SD and the published ID of your handguard, I'm going to have to grind M-Lok nuts from .096" thick to about .050" thick (at the thinner flange) to get .040" clearance on each side. Have you pondered offering thinner M-Lok nuts and screws shorter than .25" (the shortest I've been able to find) to accommodate larger diameter cans? It would be nice to not have to Dremel ten of these nuts down. Can't wait to receive this thing to try it! Thanks! |

No disrespect taken . I designed it that way because it looks much better with some flow to it . When designing the handguard it not only had to feel good and be functional but it had to look good . There are lots of parts out there that people make that fill a need but are not fully thought out and look like crap . thanks Troy MI We need as much room as possible for our hand and rather people use them or not, the safety of a handstop. The rail hand purchase of the 4.5 as limited as it is. |

subcompact pistols like a G26 or G43 don't have a hand stop and no one is worried about safety for their support hand so that argument doesn't hold up. |

What do you believe the utility and purpose of the handstop is? Is it ok in this instance to call you, "2 finger bob?" Quote HistoryQuoted:

Again, you have a hand stop on your CC pistol? Im trying to help. You should have a fucking handstop on a shortbbl subgun, shotgun, or rifle. Some brilliant MFers learned that and created a solution, they called it a "handstop." The rest is history.

The forward vertical grip is literally stopping a persons hand from moving forward when used as designed. I'm not looking to get into a pissing match but you are being a fool for some reason. |

I would also have a verticle grip if i could, but i need something i can haul around with a simple ccw license, from state to state. A verticle handgrip changes that reality.

Picked up the K hand guard. Really wish the bottom part went all the way to the end As opposed to tapering up. (On the K model only due to lack of real estate) I know you said you did it for aesthetics but on the K hand guard it would be best if extended the length of the full rail so a hand stop could go to the very end as opposed to the middleish. Please make an updated version. I’d buy another.

I had a K model from MI. I installed it for 3 minutes, immediately removed it and sold it for a loss. I was happy.
The cut might "look cool", but with a fore grip allowed my top fingers to index or drift close to the barrel, I didn't like that. The worst part was the locking pin that interfaces with the takedown pin in the receiver. The hand guard had a back and forth slide slop. The guy I sold it to commented "what a piece of shit". I would pass, the OEM kit fits much better. |

Do these have the same clearance inside the handguard? I have a short fat suppressor that runs under my factory handguard and want to to fit under this.

If my suppressor is 1.75 od, would that be cutting it too close?

It would fit but you would be better running it outside and in front of the hand guard. It would get the hand guard real hot being that close.
