Are these FF or Non-FF???

TIA,

TS,

Think of them as a basic drop in handguard that looks different. They also have the slots cut in for drop in rail sections.

On a side note, the drop in 1913 rails that are currently available will work, but I think that Magpul should take a serious look at creating their own polymer 1913 panels. While aluminum rail sections are nice, I don't think that they are needed for holding a flashlight on many weapons.

Gotcha, thanks!

OK here's another question, as per the magpul 2008 catalog, it states the MOE hand guard will have rail adapters at 2 and 10 o'clock. So is this saying there will be no way to mount a rail at 6 o'clock and therefor mount a VFG? I suppose one could drill their own mounting holes (the hand guards are only supposed to MSRP at $30 or so) and not feel too bad, but still I would think it would be a given to include them into the design.

Maybe there were options at 6 but you couldn't see it in pictures perhaps?

It's plastic, you can do whatever you want to it!

They come available with rail slots at 6, 12, 10 and 2... From Richard...

There look like they are exactly the type of thing I want but one of the rifles I want one for is midlength.

We will look at a midlenght version and yes a rail can be mounted at 6, 10 and 2 o'clock

When are they going to be for sale?

No hard release dates are given by Magpul anymore. My guess is that we are a few months out still.

Its funny the MOE stuff is supposed to be the less expensive Magpul line but I really like some of the items. This MOE handguard if they made it FF would be really nifty.

[JAH-23]

I know this is an old thread but is this still a go and if so, will it come in mid-length? thanks

[TigerStripe]

It's still a go. The handguards are the only piece missing, unless you count the MBUS. The midlength question has been asked but not answered.

I think we will see midlength MOE handguards, but that is a hunch on my part, and not to be confused with any official info.

How is the heatshielding likely to be done on these?

If you look at the picture of the lower section, you will see that the heat shield inside wraps up and around. I'm not sure if the production models will be any different.
