Midwest Industries Inc. MI-17SS -- The Ultimate Modular Drop-in Handguard
MI is proud to release the newest handguard to the market. Lighter than GI plastic, with the most modularity of any handguard available the MI-17SS is packed full of features leaving excess weight behind.
This drop in handguard allows the user to put polymer rails where they need them, and leaves a very sturdy yet comfortable handguard where they do not. No need for rail covers to protect your hand from rail space you are not using, the MI-17SS does it all. With five anti rotation QD sockets, two on either side and one in the forward position on the bottom giving you the ability to put your sling where you need it when you need it.
The modular rail sections which come in polymer colors of Black, Flat Dark Earth, and Foliage Green match the BCM Mod 0 and Mod 1 GunFighter grips and can be placed where needed on the handguard. Aluminum rail sections will be available for sale as well.
Carbine length handguards weigh in at an incredible 5.7 oz with no rails and 6.6 oz with all three rails this handguard adds virtually no weight to a standard carbine. Compare weights below.
Not only is this handguard light but is it comfortably slim as well. The MI-17SS has a continues monolithic type top rail T- marked for accessories locations and which gives it a height of 2.25" and a width of 1.825" (without added rails)
Constructed of 6061 aluminum and treated with a type III hardcoat anodizing this handguard has been built to provide a lifetime of service to its user.
Like everything MI this handguard is 100% made in the U.S.A. and is backed by our Lifetime Warranty.
Weight Comparison:
Standard plastic handguards weigh in at 6.1 oz
GI double heat shield handguards weigh in at 6.8 oz
MI-17SS without rail sections 5.7 oz and with all three rail sections 6.6 oz.

How sturdy is the small rail section with the one screw in it? Would it spin or tilt if the rifle was banged around a bit?

Following Stick and posting pics taken on my phone might be a sin, but I got a few sneak shots on my phone of the Midlength MCTAR-18SS.
Enjoy,

Handguard seems to work quite nicely, and is crazy light weight.

Very nice. I plan to try one of these handguards on a simple M4gery.
How do you like that Browe optic Stick?
