MP5s and similar rollerlock firearms are gaining in popularity. With companies like Dakota Tactical and TPM Outfitters making MP5 as well as Zenith importing MP5s from MKE in Turkey, the supply is barely meeting demand. Even H&K has gotten into the game with their SP5K. Demand drives innovation and in the case of Midwest Industries they have made a series of MLOK handguards for roller lock firearms.
Their MLOK handguards are basically the same design but come in different lengths. It is an octagonal design tube with 6 sides with MLOK slots. Other than the SP89/MP5K style handguard, the rest have QD sling swivel sockets. They are rather minimalistic at only 1.6" in diameter.
Their MI-SP89M replaces the handguard of your MP5K style firearm.

I run their MI-MP5M handguard on my Zenith MKE Z5RS MP5.
The six sides of MLOK slots allows for a lot of freedom in attaching accessories. MLOK slots also act as weight reducer for the aluminum handguard. The MI MLOK handguard is a lot lighter compared to a full tri-rail picatinny handguard
Since the handguard is only 1.6 inches in diameter, it is easy to grab the entire handguard allowing for better barrel control.
