Get what serves you best and shoot
If you're worried about weight and cost, I don't know of any hand guard that can beat the MOE. Having shot a monolithic colt and moe colt side by side, I can see why some people prefer a lightweight m4. Goodluck
The MOE's are tough, economical, and functional. Unless you require a free float for accuracy or mounting a dbal/peq unit, the MOE works just as well.
I use an MOE on my duty carbine.
I bet i can outshoot most of the people with free float handguards.
If you're gonna blow $200, get a damn Geissele SSA. That will add more function to the gun and have a bigger effect on accuracy under 100 yards.

I recently sold two DD EZ CAR rails that were on a DD and BCM. Both were replaced by carbine length MOE handguards. I like the way they feel, and how I can get a solid grip on them, especially, on my DD, where I have a Surefire X300 mounted on the left side of the handguard. When I can afford to I'll get one for the BCM. I don't plan to mount anything else on them.
In the end I evaluated what I need the gun to be able to do, and how the gun fit my hands. In the end the MOE handguards work better for me, but remember YMMV. Good luck.
Best,

I really like my Moe on my mid length but depending on how you control the gun with your support hand it may be too short especially when trying to manipulate a weapon mounted flashlight. The Moe is a great handguard for the money but it may not be ideal for how you shoot.
He never used the word "ignorant". Stir the pot on another thread.
I have owned a pair on Nike shoes, yet M.Jordan has always been better.
Personaly I tend to agree with the statment. IMO, if your a good shot, your a good shot with the firearm your handed. Sure you get better with trigger time but I believe its an art that you understand or you dont.
Im leaning hard tword the MOE. On top of that I am thinking I just read a post saying that you can buy the MOE with a pre-installed QD. This is a plus.
So from what I gather there is no other option in the same price range. Correct?

Personally i dont see how this is really a huge decision. One is 30$ and the other is hundreds of dollars more. If you are really hung up, buy the MOE and if you dont like it, save up for the DD. Then sell off the MOE on the EE.
Keep the hand guards you have. Spend the money on ammo (when you can find it)
I have their CASV-S on my 16" midlength with 'F' marked front sight post with absolutely no modification as per their instructions.
Visual example since my pictures will never be as good of quality.

Depending on the model and particular picture you look at, you can see options for using their (or a) flip up front sight either on the casv or on the gas block, as I suspect that is what you are referencing.
For me the moe handguards on the 6920 are too short. Other than that they are awesome. If I could get on of those uppers with a rifle length moe handguard on a carbine length system it would be perfect

I have had many rails. I prefer long rails if I'm going to use one. For carbine gas with a fixed front sight, I prefer the moe. The QD socket and light attachment from IWC are cheap and work for my uses.
For a little sbr like that, moe works awesome
For my needs, the mid length MOE handguard with IWC light mount is perfect.
I have a 6.8mm rifle with rails and wish I didn't. I think my next project after I finish my current rifle is to convert to a FSB and MOE.
I have 2 5.56mm rifles with MOE midlengths and love them.
I came to the conclusion after building and using the 6.8mm, that I as a civilian have no need for all those rails and really no need for free float.
I don't have 50 pieces of gear that need to hang off my rifle, lights and slings are about it, so I end up with a whole lot of wasted rail space. On top of that, I'm not taking long range shots and even if I was, I'm not a good enough shot for FF to make a darn bit of difference.
IMO I wasted a lot of money on that rail that could have been better spent on ammo....
You are talking about guys who have the training and skills to wring out that accuracy. Most are also paid to promote products and/or given a ton of top of the line shit to use.
The majority of the military runs non FF rails on their carbines..... Can't belive they can actually kill something with a non-ff rail..... I read on ARFCOM that's impossible.
Take MOE and leave Larry and Curly at home. For the money get one used and sell it later if you feel the need to do the FF rail thing.
I got both.
It's my first AR, so what did I know? The MOE that came with it felt ok, was light, and looks ok to me. But it couldn't sprout nearly as much stuff as a rail.
I got a rail for way less than $200 on a trip to Cabelas. I haven't put anything on it but a front sight and a handle, but am going to get a light on it soon-ish. I know now that I really don't need most of what can go on a rail.
I'm doing a build of my second AR as soon as all the parts arrive. I'll be able to test them side by side to see what I like best. It has little to do with need at this point, since it's only for range use. The .45 does primary home defense duties.
