MagPul MOE Hand Guards

[Jamie]

I'm going to be useing a low profile gas block with a flip up sight on the hand gaurd.

This is a bad idea, unless it's just for looks.

I thought that's what the magpul front sight for?....

I really want a flip up front sight block .

I think the issue with using a sight on a handguard is that it can rotate, throwing off your aim.

YHM and a couple of other places make flip up sights on a gas block, or you can get one of the picatinny(sp?) rail gas blocks and a *metal* flip up sight. Magpul recommends against using their flips on a gas block because it will melt.

I have the magpul flip sights mounted on my YHM free float handguard. I love them.

Ya my handguard is pretty solid on the barrel nut. It has a locking ring and a screw underneath the guard holding it in place

Ok I bought the stuff I need, who wants to help me put it together.

The FSB needs to be drilled. Oh boy.

I got the delta ring kit, FSB, and the MagPul MOE handguard.

Remsport couldn't do that for you?

I forgot my carbine gas tube, and they have no more.

Sorry bud, I had to run out in a mad dash to buy up all the HK33 mags in the area. Everything figured out?

Well I got everything I need, but now need to mount that FSB. It has be drilled, and I have no idea how to tackle that job.

I got the delta ring assembly, MagPul MOE handguard, and the "F" marked FSB. Now need to install it.

For reference this is 16" total length barrel. M4 with what will be a carbine gas system. 10" handguards go over the gas block and allow for a flip up sight to be mounted. I have a magpul front sight going on. They are free flat handguards with its own barrel nut

Just to confirm what you mean by: 16" total length barrel.

Are you using a 14.5" barrel with a Muzzle Break for a total of 16" OAL ?

jamie, just curious why it is a bad idea to put a flip up sight on the freefloat handguard? Can you give some datail?

Thanks

MOE are awesome, I plan on putting one on my next build. Magpul ****ing rocks.

 

[warwickben]

I think he was thinking a non free float. Some move around so your sights go out of wack all the time.

Can't pic between the moe or American built arms .

Vs

(but the model with the rail)

Just need to get this FSB mounted and get a BCG and this 2nd build will be done.

I got some info where to get the FSB installed, and will be calling on Monday to see the cost.

the MOE hand guards are excellent, you need a standard FSB and the handguard retainer, and of course the barrel nut/delta ring assembly. And you need to get a carbine length hand guard, the middy or rifle length will not fit your carbine gas system.

i highly recommend the MOE hand guard and MVG front grip. love em!

 

[ntomsw]

Thanks guys. I got all the parts I need. Now just need to have the installed.
