Suggestions for M&P 10 handguard?

dvdcrr · October 31, 2020, 10:32 PM

Hello,
I am toying with the idea of overhauling my M&P 10. Maybe time to add a free float handguard, change the gas block, and muzzle device. Suggestion? I think I would like a 12" handguard, quality, and light. Any ideas?

First you're going to need to figure out whether you have a high or a low profile upper receiver. Once you have that info handy you can go about selecting a hand guard.
Midwest Industries are nice and their website has the information on how to determine what you have. Unfortunately it looks like they are sold out currently (might find them in stock elsewhere). Aero Precision also makes some nice hand guards, should you happen to have a high profile upper the Aeros will fit.

The m&p10 is different than anything else on the market. It has an odd ball gas tube length and bcg. Im not saying it cant be done but it would involve some serious gunsmithing. Maybe they have become popular enough that somewhere someone is making parts that fit but when I dug into this about 4 years ago the only part you could easily swap was the pistol grip and the stock.

Looks to me like a MI 12" or 15" would work if a person swapped to a different gas block and either a long ejection port rod or a strike ind. cover.
BCG doesnt matter, as the extension is retained, and gas tube will be retained so no issue there...
Last time I looked the MP 10 had an extra spring going into the grip but that is neither here nor there.
