The Magpul MOE™ Hand Guard for M16/AR15 rifles with carbine-length gas systems combines the light weight of a standard hand guard with picatinny mount capability. Slots at the two, six, and ten o’clock positions allow for optional mounting of Picatinny rail sections for tactical lights and other accessories. Reinforced, heat-resistant polymer construction provides optimum durability without the weight and expense of an aluminum rail hand guard. Front extensions and lower lip provides additional operator protection from hot front sight assembly.
