Looking good. Only thing I might be a little concerned with is the H2 buffer on a 14.5" middy. Well and the color inlay on the lower....but that's just personal preference....lol

How do you like the moe hand guards?

Looks like you have a great rifle.

I want a BCM 14.5" middy so much, I am not old enough to buy a lower though, I can only be trusted to purchase complete rifles. :)

The fit of the MOE handgaurd is very snug and feels good. I have not fired the rifle yet. I believe it will suit my needs very well. I know a few people that use the MOE handgaurds and having shot their AR's I like them. I plan on picking up a H buffer and testing all three H, ST-2, and H2 to see what cycles the best. I went back and forth on putting color in the lower and got bored. I can remove it in a few minutes, I used paint pens. Thanks

Mines a 16" middy with an H buffer. It's cycled through about 300rds of shit Russian steel case without a hiccup. That's using pmags.

I just stippled my lower part of the hanguards. I'm liking the extra grip, but have yet to take it out and put rounds down range.

looks good- simple, light, accurate, hard to complain about :-)
The MOE is so UNDERrated! I have DD handguards on my rifles, but that's alot of extra weight if you're just wanting to add a VFG (like mine)... I'm thinkngin about getting a light just to justify having the rail :-)

I love the Moe handguards and use them all over the place. I think they have a better feel than the round guards.

nice looking rifle. I have almost the exact same rifle, except in OD and have a different FH.

I also love the MOE handguards. Light, comfortable, and doesn't suck the heat out of your hands in the cold like aluminum. If you want a VFG or a light, you can easily add a rail (or 3) to the MOE platform - best of both worlds.

Ironically, I'll have an aluminum FF tube on my yote gun, but I figure I'll be wearing gloves anyway.

Yea, disregard my earlier comment. Ran an H2 yesterday and it cycled just as nicely, actually..... Better.

What did you shot m193, m855, or .223? I think I'm going to start with an H and play around from there.

Most of the same steel cased .223. I had a pmag full of M193 and it cycled through just fine too.
