Magpul MOE handguard

**Ryo** · 9 January 2009, 17:27

Well people who ordered the MPL MOE from Noveske is going to get these. Wonder if they will come with the rails. I'm still holding my breath on whether I like them or not, but it's definitely cooler than stock handguards.

Stickman, Do you have pictures of them having the rails and accessories installed on them? Really interested in what my rifle would look like when I get it.

Good question, certainly, but I seriously doubt that the rails are included. That is admittedly just a guess on my part, as we've not really seen these break cover yet outside of reviews. My guess is that, according to the design philosophy of the MOE line, these will remain an optional retrofit, rather than standard kit.

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong, but one has to keep in mind that those with a real-world need for working rail space are probably already pondering an Omega, and not a handguard mounted solution. I'm prepared to give the MOE a try as a light mount and rudimentary VFG solution, but am still not expecting a rail kit up front.

Yes -- Stick has posted relevant photos in earlier reviews (I would have to go search for them, but I know that they exist in his repository), but what I'm waiting for is a quick and dirty photo expose of the MOE carbine with an M4-2000 mounted up to it, just as God intended.

While the handguards won't be coming with rails, here is a quick image of what you could expect.

I've got a better picture, but I need to slap a logo on it and get it uploaded.

Stick, it probably took me all of about 90 seconds to find that one in your collection. Where do you think I got the idea to ask about seeing it mounted up?

Have these handguards been released yet? I thought I read here (or somewhere else) that they were able to order them this week.

A couple vendors have posted on M4C saying that they have them.
Grant from G&R Tactical is one, I believe that E Guns was another.

Neither have it listed on their site.

**Army Chief** · 12 January 2009, 22:07

They have been released, yes, but like any new product, that doesn't mean that they will be particularly easy to find just yet. So far, I've only heard about them being offered in black, and only in a few locations. Try one of the forum vendors, or G and R Tactical -- Grant mentioned that he got several in the other day.

Somebody (like me, for instance) got beat to the draw while replying. :)

Thanks for the info guys. I'll try and hunt one down.

Yah, but you offered a active link.

T3550N · 13 January 2009, 11:24

True true. I see people avoiding active links on this forum and on M4C. Didn't know if it was forum etiquette not to, so I've been following suit. :)

**Army Chief** · 13 January 2009, 12:06

Thanks, gents.

I think the standing rule just about everywhere is that links and photos* are always appreciated, but they obviously involve some extra effort. It's no big deal for me, but some folks are understandably less comfortable with the coding required -- even if it's pretty straightforward.

* On that note, Ryo be sure to post a couple of photos when your MPL MOE arrives so I can enjoy it vicariously -- I won't get to see mine until November or so.

Cru Jones · 13 January 2009, 22:32

I see they've made it to eBay already...
