The Midwest Industries MMC-14202 EDGE 3 handguard delivers superior modularity and weight reduction for AR-15 builds demanding maximum performance. This 14.2-inch M-LOK compatible rail system eliminates unnecessary bulk while maintaining the structural integrity required for precision shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
The EDGE 3 series features Midwest Industries' refined manufacturing process that reduces weight by 15% compared to previous generations without sacrificing strength. The rail's continuous top rail maintains perfect optic alignment, while the M-LOK attachment system provides unlimited accessory positioning. Heat dissipation channels machined into the rail body manage thermal buildup during extended firing sessions more effectively than standard quad rails.
Key Features
- 14.2-inch length optimizes balance for carbine and mid-length gas systems
- M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for accessory mounting
- Continuous Picatinny top rail for seamless optic mounting
- Anti-rotation tabs prevent handguard movement under stress
- Integrated QD sling attachment points at front and rear
- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing
- Compatible with standard AR-15 upper receivers and barrel nuts
Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy maintenance even after 500+ round training sessions. The rail's thermal management keeps surface temperatures manageable during rapid fire sequences. Competition shooters appreciate the 14.2-inch length for optimal balance in 3-gun configurations, while the M-LOK system accommodates bipods, lights, and grips without adding unnecessary weight. The hard coat anodizing resists wear from repeated mounting and dismounting of accessories.
