Magpul MIAD Type 2 Gen 1.1 Grip Kit - Aggressive Textured Polymer, OD Green for AR Platform (MAG521-ODG)

The Magpul MIAD Type 2 Gen 1.1 grip kit is a modular AR platform grip designed for shooters who want to dial in their ergonomics and improve weapon handling. Where the standard AR grip is one-size-fits-most, the MIAD Type 2 gives you the ability to customize front and rear strap angles to match your hand size and shooting style. The aggressive textured polymer surface delivers positive grip even in wet or gloved conditions, and the OD Green finish blends seamlessly with most rifle builds.

This is the TYPE 2 configuration—engineered specifically for AR10-platform rifles and certain 7.62x51 receivers that benefit from the taller back-strap geometry. If you're running a standard AR15 or M4, you'll want the TYPE 1 instead. The Gen 1.1 update brought improved strap retention over the original design, so your customized configuration stays put through hard use and transport.

The kit ships with all mounting hardware you need for drop-in installation, plus a grip core that includes a dedicated storage cavity for a 1/2 oz. lubrication bottle—handy for keeping your lube accessible at the range or in the field. The MIAD is compatible with all Magpul grip cores, so you can swap storage options or upgrade components as your needs evolve.
