Oh hullo.
I used mine at the Crimson Trace Midnight 3 Gun two weeks ago:
I bought this rail because I liked the idea of adding some extra handguard length onto the Tavor. I was keen to try a more AR-15 style C clamp grip, and mount a light without getting barrel shadow down-range.
The other big thing was that I've noticed AR-15 shooters favouring wide bottomed Seekins rails that let them lock in against barriers. I wanted to try something like that on the Tavor.
Sadly there wasn't any barrier shooting at the Crimson Trace, so I honestly can't say how well the midwest rail does with this, but it feels right.
Plus keymod is currently fashionable, and I didn't own anything with keymod.
Now with a few hundred rounds through it, I think it's fine to have the extra grip and 11 o'clock rail space on the front of the gun, but better suited to a lightweight optic.
I'll need to weigh it again, but with my Razor 1-6 on top the whole thing is getting into the 12lb arena.
I really like both the Gear Head Works and the Manticore Arms replacement forearms, and consider them better options for someone thinking "I want my Tavor to be a patrol rifle, and have a light & tape switch under the barrel." Especially if you're an American with a 16" gun or a Canadian with a 14.5" CTAR.
I think the XL handguard could look a little strange with current generation flattop Tavor's, but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
Keep in mind that you lose some of your closest keymod sections to the receiver of the Tavor itself

I don't think I'll be leaving this handguard on over the winter, but before I take it off I want to put the bipod on the front and play with that DMR style fun.
If the Midwest System was $350, I would feel disappointed. But at the sub $200 mark it's a neat addition.
What else would you like to know?
