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.

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!

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

Oh ok, it doesn't seem to mention rail adapters at 6 and 12 in the catalog, but I'd buy it coming straight from the horses mouth. Cool, mark me down for one when they're available!

Yeah, I've seen more pictures since my response. Definitely possible to mount them at those locations.

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.

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

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.
