Yes and I ordered it from magpuls sight. So no idea on when it will ship.

I bought mine from Brownells.

The Brownells site confounds me. I see the stocks and the grips, but not the hand guards. Would you please provide a catalog number or link?

I took it out again today to try some Remington Gold Bullet ammo I had. The gun hated the stuff and would not even to into battery without me forcing the bolt home by hand. I quickly gave up on that and went back to the Federal I had. The good news is I was able to milk a bit better accuracy out of it today. I was shooting at 50 yards and I got the groups down to about 2 inches. I can live with that.

Yeah, the Goldens are really nasty - they are way to sticky to feed properly. Once I switched to Federal #750 bulk pack from Walmart my CMMG conversion has run 2,300 rounds without a problem.

Sorry man, I thought you mean MOE "Grip". I have heard someone say around here that they bought FG MOE hand guards from Magpul- you may have to call to order.

got the handguard in.

I was able to get the groups smaller. I tried CCI Mini mag and it grouped better but would not cycle at all. So far the only thing that does cycle is Federal 38 grain high velocity copper plated hollow points sold in the 400 round bricks. Someone on AR15.com told me I need to polish the chamber so I may do that. Although it runs great on the Federal. This target was shot at 50 yards with my 3x magnifier from the bench. I was able to shoot all the way out to 100 with acceptable results. I shot our departments qualification course with this .22 and it did fine.
