Description
This is the suppressor handguard for the MDR and will fit all suppressors up to the OSS octagonal shape suppressor diameter.
Production is slated to be completed June 21st, 2019 or sooner, depending on time for anodizing.
$290 includes mounting base pieces and the 6061-T6 anodized hard coat aluminum handguard with M-Lok slots.
This is not for colored rails, cerakote Tan needs to add the $30 Cerakote fee available in another item. Add both to your cart for Tan, please.
Currently long and short are the same price. We expect these to ship just before Labor Day and after that we will split the Short price at $290 and the Long price at $310.
Thank you!

I love the hand guard, I have a 20 inch barrel, no suppressor, and it ends right before the compensator, safe to use. If you have the 16 inch, do not order this one, get the short one. Pros- 1: fixes the lack of holding zero with factory hand guard 2: way more grip space and rail space, and the m lok sections to the left and right of the center are set in line with the barrel, and a perfect 45 degree angle, so no need for offset irons, I used regular irons mounted on those points. 3: bipods can be farther forward compared to factory, allowing more room for your support hand. 4: The handguard itself is quite easy to remove. Cons- 1: very wide, if you don’t use a suppressor, it is unnecessarily big. If they decided to make one narrower for non suppressor use, I’d be the first to preorder it. 2: If you don’t have multiple calibers, this won’t matter, but you can’t easily remove the barrel anymore. The T nuts get in the way, they must be removed to get the barrel out, and they are very annoying to get back in place. 3: While the handguard is easy to remove, the mounting block is not and I do not recommend trying to remove it frequently. Good news is, it doesn’t interfere with the pins, so you can take the upper off just as easily as before. Highly recommend this product for any MDR owners out there.

I needed a secure fore end to mount a laser aiming module for duty use. Rich has the solution. I had just seen the Blk Lbl fore end announced by Desert Tech but it didn’t seem to be long enough. The Lucky Irishman long version gave me the rock solid length I needed. Patience is needed for the install but it is worth the effort. I run the MDR in 308 with a Dead Air Nomad direct thread suppressor. This fore end was just what I needed. Great fit finish and plenty of mlok slots for accessories.
