    i would say just buy a moe and see how you like it. there will always be someone to buy if if you dont like it and you'll lose max $10. to be honest its on my rifle and i dont like it all that much, my hands just dont feel right. i dont hate it, but i dont love it either. however, when i think of paying 5x the price of a moe to replace it with the closest ok quality rail, i can learn to deal with it. id rather save up for my aimpoint.

    This is a great point. Try one and if it isn't for you unload it on the EE.

    Thanks guys. I am buying one from an M4 member. It has the QD socket. I will post the members name and give positive feedback after I get it.

    I just wish Magpul would make a MOE handguard that would extend even further past the handguard cap on both sides. Centurion FSP style. That way I could push my light (Scout w/MOE cantilevered rail section) past my support hand grip. Only bothers me when I shoot support side though. Eventually gonna try out their scout mount but still would be cool if they would extend the hg out towards the sides a little.

    I'm right there with you on longer MOE handguards.


    Recently I ditched my DD 7" Omega rails for a simple MOE. After trying out different configurations, for my use. Which is mostly range and possible HD. Rails were a bit much. I used XTM panels which actually weighed the carbine down a bit. Next upper will have a longer rail.

    Have fun and don't forget to post some pictures up.

    1. All firearms are ALWAYS loaded.
    2. Don't point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy.
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on the target and ready to shoot.
    4. Be sure of your target and backstop.

    I've thought about this myself,and wish Magpul would make it. Maybe we can drop it in their suggestion box.

    Definitely agree there. I really like the way the Centurion FSPs blur the line between a 7 and 9 inch setup. In addition to the light, VFG users could have a little bit more flexibility possibly with an extended MOE handguard.

    I have a similar experience. My primary AR is a DD DDM4v5 with the 12" rail, and shortly after I got it, I bought a 6.8 upper configured similarly. While the look great and have lots of rail space, I find I don't need a whole lot of it. Almost all the more recent ARs I have bought or put together have MOE handguards, usually with the IWC QD sockets installed.

    Total = 250 < the example rail you mentioned

    This is very close to my main AR's config and it meets all my HD, ranch gun, range needs. Can't imagine it not doing the same for you.
    Perfect.

    This is exactly what mine looks like. May switch to an Aimpoint pro over the EoTech 512 I have on it now and call it done...
