Description
The Midwest Industries Ultralight 15″ AR-15 handguard is built from 6061 aluminum with a Type III hardcoat anodized black finish, keeping the one-piece free-float platform as light as possible while maintaining the rigidity expected from a premium rifle handguard. Part of Midwest Industries’ flagship Ultralight line, this rail is built for shooters who want a lightweight forend without giving up the strength of a premium rifle handguard.
A continuous 1913 Picatinny top rail spans the full length of the handguard, providing a single mounting surface for red dots, scopes, magnifiers, backup iron sights, or laser aiming modules. The sides and bottom use M-LOK compatible slots so lights, vertical foregrips, angled grips, bipod mounts, and other accessories can attach directly to the handguard. Two integral quick-detach (QD) sling sockets are positioned at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions for push-button sling attachment.
The Ultralight series uses an extremely lightweight titanium barrel nut and titanium mounting hardware. Midwest Industries’ patented 4140 heat-treated torque plate simplifies installation and delivers a consistent, repeatable fit on any standard AR-15 upper with a round front end.
Designed, machined, and finished in the USA, the 15″ Ultralight handguard is a premium lightweight rail for AR-15 builds in carbine or rifle configurations.
