EPC 9mm build
Bought the 15 inch handguard for my Aero EPC 9mm rifle. Solid product. Fits and looks great! Obsidian 9 fits perfect, 10 out of 10!

ade is the only handguards I'll use.
My dad had an old, used parts-bin rifle that someone slapped together with spit and duct tape. Had good bones, but the guy who put it together clearly didn't know what he was doing. Decided it might be time to redecorate it. Between this beefy handguard and a new Ballistic Advantage Hanson barrel, I got his rifle looking mighty sharp. Fantastic machining in the handguard as well as finish. Looks perfect all around and not a single burr seen or felt. Shaved just under 1.5 lbs off the front end of it between this and the barrel. Points very quickly and precisely now. The big guy couldn't be happier with it. He's got big paws, so he appreciates the over-sized handguard diameter. If you're in the Large-XL category of hands, this is the handguard for you. Also, if you want to build a pistol with an oversized handguard to slip a suppressor in to act as a bit of a heat shield, this would also work if the suppressor is skinny enough, but I digress. Either way, I recommend you get a proper armorer's wrench to put it on. Spend a little money and get one if you ever plan to build or customize more than 1 AR. And a quality upper clamshell vice block. Dont be cheap. Learn from my mistakes! The wrench it comes with works...kinda. but my MI armorer's wrench made short work of it without marring or damaging the barrel nut. Wouldn't suspect the same from the included one, but admittedly I didn't try it.

ade hand guards
ade always makes great high quality products. This is being used to replace a over suppressor hand guard that was impractical. This hand guard has a good barrel nut and solid lock up to the upper. No sharp edges and a great finish.

Easy install
ade handguards are my favorite by far. They are very easy to install and remove compared to most others. The SP series is meant to be a large enough diameter to accept a tucked suppressor. Just make sure to check the suppressor diameter, because it will not fit all suppressors. My Nomad 30 will not fit inside this handguard, which is ok with me, because I didn't get this to Tuck the supressor, I just like the larger diameter handguard.

Great handguard, easy to install on my 10.5 inch 300 blackout build.
Plenty of room for a suppressor. Highly recommended optics plant and ade

Great pick for an accuracy build
I have used ade "Combat" rails and "G4" rails in the past on other rifles, and generally feel that Midwest Industries handguards are horribly underrated. With a dedicated 22LR build using a 20in barrel, I picked the 18in SP handguard (MI-SP18M). (SP Series was previously called Suppressor Series, but I presume they renamed it to sound less menacing and more PC.. eyeroll.) The main reasons why I picked the SP was (a) its width, (b) its length, (c) its cost. The SP handguards were designed to allow suppressors to fit "underneath" them, and they are marketed as such, but I don't own any suppressors so that wasn't a consideration for me. The rifle I put it on, I mostly shoot prone with bipod and bag. The width was a big selling point for me, because it makes settling into position easier to do AND grants me better radial "leverage" to make those teeny-tiny adjustments to my position that much more easily. Nice strong platform for the bipod and other accessories. Stays put when forces are applied to it. Keeps my barrel freefloated and predictably accurate. The long 18in version increases my rifle's "wheelbase" per se, and thereby its stability. Function is paramount, but where function meets form, that's where the magic happens. Midwest knocked it out of the park with this design. Nice and wide. Nice and long. And at a great price point. I'm really glad I went the way I did. Loved it so much on my 22LR that I bought another for my 20in 5.56! So good!

Perfect fit
Needed a handguard that was large enough in diameter for an under the handguard suppressor build and Midwest Industries SP series fit the build.

Sweet addition to an under-the-handguard suppressor build
I was working on an under-the-handguard suppressor build and needed a handguard that would match my regular Aero upper while also providing adequate clearance under the rail. Unless you select the enhanced version of Aero's upper, the Midwest Industries SP Series is an excellent choice. My Rugged Obsidian 9 CAN fit well under the rail, creating a gorgeous small package. Thanks, OP and MI.

Everything fits
Easy install. Removed old rail, barrel nut and gas block. Installed new barrel nut, gas tube fits through holes in barrel nut, then installed new rail. Fits silencer with room for a can sleeve.

works with aero upper and supressor
Installed this on a 8inch .300 blackout aero m4e1 upper and direct threaded a aero lahar suppressor. Only downside is it’s difficult to mount a light at the end of the 10.5inch handguard since the suppressor takes up the space where the mlok light mount inserts are supposed to go. Other than that its great and easy to install

Rock solid choice
These handguard have taken a beating and hold up great. I use these on almost everything I build.
