I hope it serves your brother well. Nevertheless I question the advice you were given by Magpul as both attach to the same parts (delta ring and front cap). Watch this SL installation video for yourself and judge if there is anything about your upper that would interfere.

It looks like the SL just extends forward around the gas block on the sides further. Either probably will work, I'll go with the one Magpul says is most likely to fit.

My brother has an M16 style barrel shroud and he'd like to add a light. I was thinking of getting him a rail system, but I'm not sure I can replace his current shroud. Can I replace this shroud without having to replace the gas block? Any suggestions?

Attachment 70977

Look at Daniel Defense Omega 7.0, available in M-Lok and Picatinny, requires no modification to the weapon, is free-floating, drops in just like your current handguard and is tightened up with Allen screws. Another option if you don’t mind the additional work is a Centurion Arms C4 7” which is a pic rail. Neither are super cheap but both are solid options.

So Magpul responded:



So I placed an order for the MOE M-LOK carbine length guard today.

Thanks all!

Still not convinced an SL handguard wouldn’t work
