The Midwest Industries MINF925 Night Fighter handguard transforms AR-15 builds with its lightweight aluminum construction and versatile M-LOK mounting system. This 9.25-inch free-float rail delivers enhanced accuracy while maintaining the streamlined profile shooters demand for tactical and competition applications.
What Makes This Different
The Night Fighter series features Midwest Industries' proprietary hardcoat anodizing process that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Type III finishes. The continuous top rail extends sight radius while the slim 1.5-inch diameter reduces bulk without sacrificing structural integrity. Anti-rotation tabs and precision-machined barrel nut ensure rock-solid lockup under rapid fire conditions.
Key Features
- Free-float design eliminates barrel contact for improved accuracy potential
- M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for accessory mounting flexibility
- Hardcoat anodized 6061-T6 aluminum construction weighs just 10.2 ounces
- Includes proprietary barrel nut, wrench, and 5-slot Picatinny rail section
- Compatible with standard AR-15 upper receivers and low-profile gas blocks
- Continuous top rail maintains co-witness with A2 front sight posts
- Anti-rotation tabs prevent handguard movement under stress
Field testing demonstrates the MINF925's ability to maintain zero through temperature extremes and high round counts. The M-LOK system accommodates lights, lasers, grips, and bipods without adding unnecessary weight. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance in adverse conditions, while competitive shooters appreciate the enhanced balance and control during rapid target transitions.
