DefenseReview’s (DR) done quite a bit of reporting on Midwest Industries (MI) products (see “Related Articles” section below), and for good reason. They work, they look good, they’re high-quality, and they’re priced correctly. Basically, they’re awesome. So, we always make sure to stop by their booth at SHOT Show to check out the latest and greatest.

The first thing we were shown at their booth at SHOT Show 2018 is the new MI L-LOK Tactical Handguard/Rail System for the FN M249 LMG/SAW for mounting all your accessories (vertical fore grips, tactical white lights and infrared illuminators, lasers, etc.), and still allowing you to fold carry handle in the down position, and fold a bi-pod, tri-pod or other mount. It’s compatible with M122, M192 tripods and Pintle mounts. It’s pretty slick, as you can see in DR’s video below, and it’s made right here in the USA. So, it’s Berry Compliant.
