    I'm afraid that I am a bit dense here. I don't yet have the MOE handguards but am thinking of getting them for a spare upper.

    I would be mounting the VFG at 6 o'clock and a rail for a light at 9 o'clock.

    So would I need to remove the heat shields to mount these, and if so, how hard are the heat shields to remove and put back in?

    thanks

    I don't remember if I would need to remove them or not, but mine fell right out.

    I am wondring if you are going with a VFG if you should use a long piece of rail to spread the attachment stress out.
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    No, you would not have to remove the heat shields.

    Heavy Metal - I think you make a very good point. It's a valid consideration.

    Thanks, guys. I am in a bit of a firearm reshuffle and the info is helpful and will likley be tested.

    I think HeavyMetal made a good point about the longer base for the VFG to better spread the pressure.

    Has anyone used the moe for a front sling attachment point at 9 o'clock? Is it strong enough to take the weight?

    I have not put a rail on mine yet, as it is on the wife's "basic" setup. I am with Heavy metal - a longer rail with at least 3 mounts points would make me happier that it can be better secured. I will try an old AAC carbine rail on my set just to see what it functions like.
    Glocks are functional tools and nothing else, hence they have no soul - Rob S.

    That's an ElZetta light mount. They work very nice. If you get one, order WITH the thumbscrews.
