Ruger 10/22~ 8'' Takedown Hanguard M-Lok Blk
The Midwest Industries 8" Takedown Handguard for Ruger 10/22 TakeDown models is a lightweight aluminum alternative to the factory plastic forend, designed to give your rimfire more modularity and a sleeker profile. Built from 6061 aluminum and hard-coat anodized for durability, this handguard floats freely for consistent accuracy and includes a 5-slot polymer M-Lok rail plus eight sides of M-Lok mounting slots to customize with optics, lights, or other tactical gear. At just 7.3 ounces, it won't bog down your rifle, and the fully dehorned edges keep things comfortable during extended shooting sessions at the range or in the field.
Midwest Industries engineered this handguard with a true free-float design and includes the mounting hardware you need for a straightforward installation. The slim profile maintains the 10/22's naturally handy proportions while opening up options for accessory mounting that the factory stock doesn't offer. Two anti-rotation QD sockets keep your attachments locked in place without wobble, and the included wrench makes field adjustments simple if needed.
Compatibility is limited to the Ruger 10/22 TakeDown platform—not standard 10/22 rifles. The takedown design means some minor variations in barrel-to-receiver alignment between individual firearms are normal and won't affect function or performance; Midwest Industries recommends aligning the handguard with the top edges of the factory stock for best results. Made entirely in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, this is a no-nonsense upgrade for shooters who want to add modern ergonomics and modularity to a classic plinker.
