The Magpul MIAD Type 2 Gen 1.1 grip kit is a drop-in replacement for AR platform rifles designed to give you a genuinely custom grip experience without gunsmithing. Built in Flat Dark Earth polymer with aggressive texture, this is the right choice if you're running a rifle that needs the taller back-strap geometry—particularly 7.62x51 receivers and certain AR10-pattern builds. Unlike a fixed grip, the MIAD lets you swap front and rear straps to dial in your hand fit, so whether you've got long fingers or prefer a compact profile, you get the ergonomics that work for your shooting style.
What sets Gen 1.1 apart is the thoughtful refinement: improved strap retention means your straps stay put during hard use, and the included grip core doubles as waterproof storage—handy for stashing a small lubrication bottle or batteries. The aggressive texture delivers the kind of positive control you need under recoil or when your hands are wet or gloved. All mounting hardware comes in the box, and it's fully compatible with other Magpul grip cores if you want to swap storage solutions down the road. Made in the USA, it's the kind of upgrade that feels solid the moment you wrap your hand around it.
If you're choosing between Type 1 and Type 2, know that this Type 2 kit is optimized for certain 7.62x51 and AR10 receivers; most AR15 and M4 builds will need the Type 1 instead. Check your receiver before ordering to make sure you've got the right match.
