Additional Information
The Magpul MOE Handguard for AR15/M16 rifles with rifle-length 'direct impingement' or external-piston gas systems combines the light weight of a standard handguard with modular flexibility. Slots at the two, six, and ten o'clock positions allow for optional mounting of Picatinny rail sections for tactical lights and other accessories. Reinforced, heat-resistant polymer construction provides operational durability without the weight and expense of an aluminum rail handguard. Front extensions and lower lip provides additional operator protection from hot front sight assembly.
