How do you make your SAINT cooler than it already is?
Well, you could get an awesome handguard.
Why, you might ask?
The Midwest Industries 15″ handguard looks awesome on this SAINT Edge pistol and it protects your hands from suppressor burns.
Well, for a couple of reasons.
Check out my video review above, and keep reading this article below.
The Details
Midwest Industries sells its suppressor-compatible handguards in multiple sizes.
The Midwest Industries handguard looks right at home on this Edge pistol.
They sell it in 18, 15, 12, 10, 9 and 7 sizes.
I chose the 15 handguard The handguard itself has seven sides of M-Lok and weighs 14.6 oz.
with the barrel nut.
The author found installation of the handguard to be a relatively simple and straightforward process.
(For additional information, see our article What Is M-Lok?)
The outside diameter is 2.
The rail is a free-float design constructed from 6061 aluminum and hard coat anodized for a lifetime of service.
This is a fitting sold by Bravo Company that you will need to remove your Springfield Armory barrel nut.
This product is 100% made in America, and Midwest Industries includes a lifetime warranty with the handguard.
This product from Midwest Industries will sell for around $200 when you might find it in stock.
However, they are very popular and it can be hard to find them online.
The Midwest Industries Handguard has seven sides of M-Lok and is big enough to fit over suppressors with an inside diameter of 1.75”.
Your best bet is to check your local gun store while keeping an eye on their website.
Installation
It comes with very good step-by-step instructions, which is great.
First off check that your gun is unloaded so that you might be safe while you work on it.
We even separated our lower from our upper and we removed the bolt just to be completely safe.
After this, your handguard should slip right off with no issue.
After that, you will need a punch set to remove your gas block and gas tube.
On the Midwest Industries handguard, the gas tube will need to pass through the new barrel nut.
The pin itself can only go out toward the ejection port side of the gun.
You also will need a 12 torque wrench to loosen and tighten your new handguard.
or until the next gas tube hole aligns with the upper receiver.
mark for the MI barrel nut.
Now you have to reinstall the gas tube and the gas block.
We then slid the handguard on and proceeded to bolt it down.
This is why the adjustable gas block on the SAINT Edge pistol is fantastic to have.
That way my gun runs cleaner and it wont be as hard on the bolt.
I cant even describe how happy I am with the results.
I would highly recommend this for your set-up if you are contemplating a suppressor-compatible handguard.
hey ensure you are up-to-date on all current laws.
