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!

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.
