Forearm Full Length 12"

The Midwest Industries Forearm Full Length 12" Handguard (MCTAR-19G2) is a drop-in rifle forearm designed for operators and tactical shooters who demand lightweight performance without gunsmith installation. Weighing 12.9 ounces, this 12-inch full-length handguard delivers a monolithic continuous top rail with mil-spec 1913 Picatinny sections T-marked for accessory placement, enabling rapid mounting of optics, lights, lasers, and other modular components in the field.

Constructed from 6061 aluminum with a hard-coat anodized finish, the MCTAR-19G2 design incorporates four anti-rotation Quick-Detach (QD) sockets spaced along the forearm for push-button sling swivel attachment. The solid lock-up rivals fixed handguards while maintaining a low-profile aesthetic, and the platform is compatible with most modern gas piston rifle systems. Installation requires no gunsmith work—it installs like standard factory plastic handguards, making it ideal for field upgrades and weapon reconfiguration in the field or range environment.

This handguard is engineered for law enforcement, military, and civilian rifle builders seeking a reliable, purpose-built forearm with minimal weight penalty. The extended length maximizes rail real estate for tactical configurations while the aluminum construction keeps overall weapon balance neutral. The Gen2 anti-rotation sockets address one of the primary complaints with early quick-detach systems, ensuring slings and accessories remain indexed during dynamic movement.
