While your at it, ask for a right side short bad ass lever from him as well. The MI levers are too long for the right side of the gun and will dig into your trigger finger. I wish they offered the levers by only one, or offered a shorter one for the right side. I submitted a review stating this, it wasn't posted.

Awesome to see this come to fruition. You discussed a model for 10.5" barrels, any chance you've got an ETA? My form 1 is pending.

Installed mine last night and after wiping all of the oils off I noticed some scuffs in the coyote Cerakote and the laser engraving looked kind of off. Anyone else have similar issues with theirs?

Had a few dings in it under the Cerakote and a small scuff but it’s a sweet looking handguard and I am sure it will have even more rash before to much longer I actually shoot my guns!

Sweet! Order in!

EDIT: Got my short hand handgaurd for my coyote brown rifle. Even though I don't have my shorter barrel yet it still looks really good with the 16.5" barrel.

How are you guys liking these rails?

Was looking at RPM but they're both wayyy more expensive or out of what I'm looking for.

RPM is top notch! Also, in my opinion, they're the best looking rail option for the ACR. RPM is reasonably priced; the Nexus Tactical ones are what's expensive (not knocking them, they're just definitely the most expensive out there). You're not going to find much cheaper besides the factory options.

Love my RPM handguard!

RPM is $329 for the handguard, MI is $185. That's quite a difference.

They also don't have what I'm looking for in stock, so there's another issue. Hence why I'm wondering how people are liking their MI rails.

I love the MI handguard, I think it looks better than that RPM I don't care for that gap.

It's solid, well made, and fits/looks great.  Just like everything else MI makes.

I say go for the midwest and don't look back.Just like others have said the fitment is on point and you really cant beat the price.I like the fact they covered up the gas block entirely and continued the pic rail across the top.I prefer to run a front sight as far out as I can and this allows me to do it.

the only thing I wish they had done was stagger the mlok holes like other rails.I had to shave down the screws in my arisaka light mount to get them to clear the gas block without it touching.Not the rails fault at all but staggering them differently would make things easier in the future.

Got my 14.5" barrel and Surefire closed tine flash hider back from pin and weld service (thanks Dana!) and I'm really happy with the results. Sorry for the potato quality cell phone pic. I'll try to get better photos of my two ACRs with their Midwest Industries gear later.

Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for for a pic! I'm doing the same with a closed tine warcomp, 14.5", and the short rail, but with a black ACR.

The rails are sharp. Looks like a 10.5" setup. I have to get me one for mine. Now I have to decide to get a 556 10.5" barrel conversion and get short rail or just get one regular length for 16" as I like to get a 6.8 conversion also,lol. Did they add weight over the stock forearm or loose weight? How much weight lost if any?

Those Midwest rails look killer. I have been holding off getting and ACR for a while but that rail makes it look so much better and obviously adds functionality so I’m buying an ACR with my bonus this year and I’m going to have that rail sitting here waiting for it. I’m going to do a pinned 14.5 barrel and I may get the shorter rail I kind of like the look of those in the pics on this thread. Does anybody have a pic of the rail before installed from the front so we can see the profile/shape of the rail? Awesome job MI !

Well fine then.

To make up for the bad news, you should offer a version of your safety that deletes the right side/ambi lever.

(This one would actually sell VERY well)
