Magpul’s MOE Hand Guard
Magpul have built a solid reputation creating affordable yet innovative and rugged firearms accessories, often using fiber-reinforced polymer technology. They have focused on the AR market and have come to dominate the economy end of that market with solid, value for money products that have won a great following with the nation’s military, law enforcement and sports shooters.
Magpul’s baseline range is the MOE or Magpul Original Equipment series of AR accessories. The MOE hand guard addresses the requirement to mount accessories on ARs of various lengths without incurring the substantial additional weight and ergonomic disadvantages of a quad rail system. Not every one wants to put accessories on a rifle at every conceivable angle and the MOE stock is an attractive alternative to the standard fore-end, especially when paired with Magpul’s other rifle furniture. Bushmaster were suitably impressed and adopted a variant of this hand guard for their ACR or Adaptive Combat Rifle. Magpul’s design follows a trapezoidal format with transverse ridges and a non slip surface to provide the best possible grip. Forward and side lips at the front prevent the hand from sliding on to the hot gas block. An aluminium heat shield protects the hand from heat which is dissipated by horizontal cooling ventilation slots. mounting points are provided to allow polymer Magpul MOE rails in 5, 7, 9 and 11 slot lengths to be added at 2, 6 and 10 o’clock positions. Alternatively a Magpul MOE illumination kit can be bolted on to enable you to fit a torch. The illumination kit comes with both short and cantilevered Picatinny rail sections and old and new style Surefire pressure switch mounts. Everything you need to mount the items is included. For sling fixing, the Magpul RSA Rail Sling Attachment can be employed to attach the front end of one of their range of multi mission slings. Most MOE hand guard users opt not to put a vertical hand guard on, but this is possible and the only reason not to do it is that a drop in hand guard will never be quite as rigid as a RAS.
This unit is a drop-in replacement for the USGI or factory supplied unit. The hand guard clears a low battery housing Eotech fitted to the receiver rail, provided that it also clears the hand guard. Whilst the fore end will only fit direct impingment gas systems, it is available in three lengths to suit carbines, mid lenght ARs and rifles. As the hand guard is molded it is easy to offer different colors and black, OD green, foliage green and dark earth alternatives are offered.
