Interesting.. thought handguards would be against eBay's policies.

They're just "handguards". Handguards to what? Irrelevant. Guarding is good...you know...on your hands...

Anyone have pics of these new handguards on just a regular M4 type?

What do you mean regular type M4? Most standard Military M4 have rails, an Aimpoint, and VFG. What sort of layout were you looking for?

M4 profile barrel. Also, will these handguards fit other types of profile gas blocks (including low profile) or railed gas blocks?

They have fit all the various types of barrel profiles I've tried them on, remember, they are simply a drop in replacement for traditional handguards. If carbine handguards fit, these will fit.

That's what I was looking for, thanks Stickman!

This is just me dreaming out loud, but I would be especially pleased with a short VFG solution that mounted up directly to the handguard itself, thus streamlining and simplifying the install, and eliminatiing the need to add rail sections and conventional (i.e. unnecessarily bulky) mounts to the grip itself.

Granted, a VFG bolted to a drop-in handguard has its limitations, but as a non-load-bearing reference point/hand stop, it could be quite useful. I don't apply a lot of lateral pressure to a VFG, nor to I need anything close to a full length grip, but it is often advantageous to have something there. If that something had a minimalist profile and a nice positive lock-up to the handguard, I would definitely consider it.

Another picture to add to my collection. :) Nice Stickman.

Does the handguard comes with heat shield -- double or single?

Picture request : Any 'barrel' view of the MOE-HG side-by-side with a regular CAR or M4 HG?

Anyone know who has the handguards in stock right now?

T3550N · 18 January 2009, 08:42

Grant at G&R Tactical. He was away for the shot show, but if you call in first thing Monday, you should be able to reach him. If not, leave a message.

I wish Magpul would have made these in different lengths. I need a MOE handguard for my mid-length, low profile AR.

Rainier Arms has them in stock, give them a call. They will go up on the website monday or tuesday, but they are there and shipping now. Bravo, Dennys, Brownells and a couple others should currently have them as well, but the only one I know for a fact that has them is RA, and thats because the owner is sitting next to me in the airport.

This site is based on factual information, who told you that Magpul is not making a midlength MOE handguard? Go ahead and call them out on it.
