Midwest Industries (Waukesha, WI)- Now more than ever, the modern defensive carbine needs to function at its peak in all conditions and situations. Lights and laser designators have deservedly found a home on countless AR-platform rifles, but point of impact shifts due to legacy Mil-Spec handguard designs have limited their effectiveness … until now.

We designed our new Night Fighter Handguard specifically for engaging targets in low-light scenarios. Built to reduce point of aim shifts and to be compatible with popular lasers, IR lights, high-rise optic mounts, NODs, and our PEQ15 iron sights, these handguards offer shooters a solution to own the night. Each handguard is constructed around a sturdy 2.250” long steel barrel nut while still retaining a slim 1.5” outside diameter. And, like all MI products, the Night Fighter is proudly American-made.

  • Ultra-rigid design made to minimize handguard flex
  • Features patented heat treated 4140 Steel torque plate
  • Type III Hard Coat Anodized 6061 Aluminum
  • Continuous MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny top rail
  • Two integral anti-rotation QD sling sockets
  • Seven sides of M-LOK attachment surfaces
  • Barrel nut and wrench included
  • MI Lifetime Warranty
  • 9.25” Length: $209.95
  • 10.5” Length: $219.95
  • 13.5” Length: $234.95

I was born and raised in NC and I have grown up around firearms with shooting BB guns at the age of around 3-4. I serve my county as a Paramedic and work part-time at my local gun shop. I have been writing for Epic Tactical since May 2016 and have been doing firearm reviews on YouTube for about the same amount of time. My enthusiasm is geared towards the medical side, yet I am always there to help out new shooters find that perfect gun and work on their technique. My wife usually accompanies me to the gun range and she is always there to help female shooters with their techniques and to answer questions.
