Magpul MOE handguard

[sodak]

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.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if magpul has any intentions of making these in a rifle length?

I may have missed this but will Rainier Arms have other than black MOE guards? G&R only has black.

[Cru Jones]

Just picked up a couple from RA. Thanks Stickman for giving me the heads up on them.

[Stickman]

Other colors will be coming, but black is always the first color that Magpul seems to release.

No news on other lengths, Magpul stays quiet on new items that may or may not be in the pipeline.

Makes only sense to sell black first. It's neutral and everyone can use them. I believe the UBR's and PMAGs are majority sold as black based on what I heard from DSG Arms rep.

If I order a set, where do I get the rail attachments for them?

[Army Chief]

While there is more than one source for these, the one that comes most readily to mind is Falcon Industries.

Sweet, a link to something I was going to ask for too. :)

More photos for the collection. I've really warmed up to the MOE. Kind of like them. Originally I thought they were ugly..

Very nice, Ryo.

[Ryo]

Thanks, Just trying to learn from Stickman.

[Army Chief]

I think even Stick would be a bit impressed with your work there -- well done!

I always appreciate seeing different views of the MOE, too, as I won't be "hands on" until much later in the year. I'm still trying to sift through my optics preferences ... and not making much progress. I'd like to set it up with a compact ACOG, but know that a T1 or M4 would be better suited to training environments. I would ante up for a Short Dot, but I'm not even sure that is going to still be "best in class" for very much longer. Too many options! :)

Better than too few.

[Ryo]

If your planning to use a ACOG for duty then get the ACOG. Don't get the Aimpoint T1 just because it's easier for training environments. Train with what you're going to use.

edit: Oh forgot to say thanks about the comment

I'd expect to see middy ones within a couple months, followed by rifle.

Compare the release dates with the Omega rail systems - 7, 9, 12.


Also makes me wonder if they'll have an Rifle-X version of the MOE handguards, set up like the MI CX models. Would allow full rails to be added, and most affordable mounting of a SF X300 at 12' front.
