# New Product Highlight: UTG Pro MP5 SD Monolithic Handguard

I get it, modifying an MP5 is kind of like covering a Led Zeppelin song. It’s a high-stakes game, but I think the **UTG Pro MP5 monolithic handguard** actually crushed the challenge.
The new design keeps what we love about the MP5 (slap!) and adds some really useful modern capability.
But take a look and make your own assessment, then sound off in the comments!

This system replaces both the upper and lower portions of the factory handguard, whether you have a 9mm HK MP5 or a clone.
The new upper handguard features an enlarged charging handle recess and a cutout to view the serial number. It’s compatible with the factory sights.
The lower portion features M-LOK slots and a 2-inch inner diameter that leaves room for M-LOK hardware when used with a suppressor. It’s short enough to use with a K-size suppressor, but longer cans will work just fine.
And yes, this handguard is made in the U.S. so it counts as a 922r-compliant part.
UTG Pro lists an MSRP of **$249.97 for the MP5 SD monolithic handguard.**
