Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the MIAD TYPE 1 (MAG520) and TYPE 2 (MAG521)?
The TYPE 1 kit (MAG520) is designed to fit the vast majority of standard AR-15 and AR-10 receivers chambered in 5.56x45 and 7.62x51. The TYPE 2 kit (MAG521) is required for certain 7.62x51 AR-10-pattern receivers that have a slightly different grip pocket geometry. If you're unsure which type your receiver requires, consult your firearm's manufacturer specifications or contact Magpul directly before ordering.
How does the interchangeable strap system work, and what sizes are included?
The MIAD Gen 1.1 ships with multiple front and rear strap inserts that snap securely into the grip frame, allowing you to adjust the overall circumference and feel of the grip to match your hand size and shooting style. Simply swap the front strap (which changes the finger groove profile) and the rear strap (which adjusts backstrap thickness) until you find the combination that feels most natural. The improved Gen 1.1 retention mechanism keeps the straps locked in place without tools.
Can I use other Magpul grip cores with the MIAD Gen 1.1?
Yes. The MIAD Gen 1.1 grip body is compatible with the full range of Magpul grip cores, which are sold separately and offer different internal storage configurations — including cores sized for CR123 batteries, AA batteries, or additional cleaning supplies. The kit ships standard with the newest generation core that accommodates the included 1/2 oz. lubrication bottle, giving you a handy place to store CLP or oil without adding bulk to your kit.
