Midwest Industries MIULW105 Ultralight 10.5" AR-15 Handguard M-LOK

The Midwest Industries MIULW105 Ultralight handguard delivers exceptional weight savings without sacrificing structural integrity for AR-15 platforms. This 10.5-inch free-floating rail system combines hardcoat anodized aluminum construction with polymer components to achieve optimal strength-to-weight ratios. Built for competitive shooters and tactical professionals who demand reliable performance under stress.

What Makes This Different

The hybrid aluminum-polymer construction sets this handguard apart from traditional all-aluminum designs. While standard 10.5-inch rails typically weigh 12-14 ounces, the MIULW105 achieves significant weight reduction through strategic polymer integration. The hardcoat anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Type III anodizing, extending service life in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Hybrid aluminum/polymer construction reduces overall system weight
• 10.5-inch length accommodates carbine and SBR configurations
• M-LOK attachment system provides secure accessory mounting
• Picatinny top rail maintains optics and iron sight compatibility
• Free-floating design eliminates barrel contact for improved accuracy
• Black hardcoat anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
• Anti-rotation barrel nut ensures consistent zero retention

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy improvements over standard drop-in handguards due to the free-floating barrel interface. The M-LOK slots accept lights, grips, and bipods without additional rail sections, reducing bulk and snag points. Temperature stability remains excellent across operating ranges from -40°F to 140°F. Law enforcement agencies report reliable function through thousands of rounds with minimal maintenance requirements.
