Just thought I would pass along some new info;
MI (Midwest Industries inc.) is/has released a Generation 2 version of their handguards (both free float and non free float).
The main upgrade/improvement is their new lighter weight. After some additional machining to the inside of the handguards they averaged a 15% drop in weight.
New Weights
MCTAR-17 (2 Piece Carbine Length)
MCTAR-17C (2 Piece Carbine Length Colt© Mfg. Guns)
Weight: 9.9 oz.
MCTAR-18 (2 Piece Mid Length)
Weight: 12.4 oz.
MCTAR-19 (2 Piece Full Length Rifle)
Weight: 16.0 oz.
MCTAR-20 (2 Piece Free Float Carbine Length Forearm)
Weight: 11.0 oz.
MCTAR-20X (2 Piece Free Float Extended Carbine Length Forearm)
Weight: 14.0 oz.
MCTAR-21 (2 Piece Free Float Mid Length Forearm)
Weight: 13.5 oz.
MCTAR-22 (2 Piece Free Float Full Length Forearm)
Weight: 17.1 oz.
MCTAR-24 (2 Piece Free Float Forearm 10" Length)
Weight: 14.7 oz.
The only model that not out as a Gen2 is the #17X and #17XC. But those should be ready in a few days. I will get us some weights on those also as soon as they are finished.
I will post up some pics also later today.
Thanks for looking!
