Magpul MOE Handguard with AFG

[towncop]

Looking to find out if anyone is running a Magpul MOE Handguard with a Magpul AFG? Not "huge" fan of the MOE Handguard, but still not willing to drop a bunch of coin on other handguards. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Most people find the extended hand guards work better with the AFG, but here is a picture of a prototype MOE rifle length hand guard from Military Times.

You are such a tease.

I'm actually running one on standard-style handguards (C8s from Cavalry for my Middy). There is play, but it's usable for my purposes. Once the middy MOEs are out, I'll be making the switch to that. It was stable on my carbine MOEs, but even mounting it as far forward as possible, it wasn't quite far enough out for the purposes the AFG was designed for, at least not for me.

AFG needs a longer handguard. To use a AFG on a carbine handguard you have to extend the stock further to make up for the length, and it upsets the balance of your stance.
