I love my MI rail and I would buy one again. I like the new barrel but design. Will it work better is the question

Nice. You have anything like that with a larger diameter for a suppressor?

I remember when that's all MI really had... are big fat rails.

They've come a long way in a short amount of time.

The torque plate is clever. I like my Gen 2 MI rails, would definitely consider trying these ... if I ever build another gun [:)]

I can see buying multiple lengths of the Gen 3 to replace some existing handguards I've been dissatisfied with.

Gosh, I know this guy, and he makes a few inline mounts that are *perfect* for these handguards. :)

I can only imagine that improved handguards like the MI Gen 3 only make life easier for guys like you.

Absolutely. For m-lok the Geissele mk8 was the only serious game in town for 45 slots until these came along.

I really like MLOK. This is definitely one of the best feeling rails I've used out of all the ones I've handled.
