Midwest Industries has designed and built a 17.5″ hand guard around their MB4 muzzle break. Using a cutout section where the break’s blast is driected, the MI rail extends out to nearly the end of the muzzle device for a clean look. The rail also provides nn extra two inches of sight radius, should you decide to use iron sights.
Other than the unique aesthetics, I am having difficulty finding an advantage to burying a muzzle break inside a rail. Even though the risk is small, the fact remains that an overly aggressive c-clamp support hand grip could put fingers in the path of the break’s redirected blast. However, MI isn’t new to the AR accessory game, so I’m guessing both engineers and beta testers weighed both the risks and rewards when inserting a muzzle device under a rail.
Still, purchasing a hand stop might be cheap finger insurance.
