Found a better picture of the handguard from thetruthaboutguns.com.

5.45 mag on the left.

I'm not seeing a 5.45 mag anywhere in that picture.

I wish they added M-Lok slots on the gas block shield so I can put a light out further.

This was my initial thought as well, but then my mechanical engineer training took over. The gas block shield is a thin cantilever tab on each side. A light mounted to them would likely break the tab under rough use, especially if they were slotted. I am actually more impressed with the handguards now.

I really like that handguard--looking forward to it.

I'll be sure to give the stock a shot when they come out with it in gray.

Yeah, I was about to blow $100+ on refitting my MOE carbine with Stealth Gray furniture. I'll just wait until the new stock and handguard come out first. Thanks for posting this. I need to keep up with the Magpul site better.

Now if they'd only come out with a free float version

True... and after having a closer look at that handguard, I wish they would have extended the same texture down the length of the guard to the section that surrounds the FSB. The rounded-off look is distracting.

I got a couple of the 5.45 on left, but am waiting for the Mod 2 which is reputed to have steel inserted more like the commies. Can't wait for the cut-out on my Smith 5.45 upper.

I'd throw that on a Kiss Rifle and probably find that it works well, I'd like to put hands on, good for Magpul

You seem to be making a reference to the AK mag... that's a 7.62x39 magazine.

I just saw them in my email. They look very nice. I like the look of the carbine length handguards on how it is just a skosh longer than the other cl handguards. I can't wait to try this product out.
