I purchased a used m400 by Sig Sauer not that long ago and it came with the old Magpul furniture. I recently switched it up and changed the color now it's two-tone black and gray and it is all M-Lok compatible. For those of you looking to do something like this....... Palmetto State Armory is in fact the cheapest place where you will find authentic Magpul furniture.
Just put one of these in fde on my 6920. I want to put a light on my gun but don't want to pay 100 and up for a decent quad or some sort of other handguards.
Yeah... I guess it IS that simple when you don't actually show it being done. Where's all the cussin' that comes when I'm struggling to get the thing off or on.-
I did and was going to get it but this one has the "Sling" attachment and it would push it forward and not function and look kinda funny. It does look NICE.
@@BeyondSeclusion I usually just punch the pinout and use a piece of paracord tied off to the A2 sight for a sling Mount anyways since it's silent instead of clinging around
I built an AR and the barrel I got already had the gas block installed as well as the front (ring?) to hold the drop in handguard. The gas block does not have a front sight or a sling attachment point. I did buy this same magpul drop in handguard to complete the upper. My questions is this: Is this handguard strong enough to attach a QD point to put my sling on? Or will the force end up breaking the drop in handguard? The other option I am considering is a strap around the handguard with a D-ring on it to attach the sling to. Thoughts?
The sl suffers from getting hot where the moe does not. Plus the fact you have to remove your sling attachment point from your front sight post. If you want a slim Handguard get a free float and don’t wast time on the slim line
Can the heat shield be easily removed? I’m probably wrong, but it actually looked like black plastic instead of metal. I doubt thin plastic would actually work in that application. Anyway, wouldn’t it need to be removed to add an M-Loc forward grip?
No need to add a rail, an MLOK compatible grip can be installed in one of the long slots. You *can* install a rail to add a grip to a more specific place, but you can most certainly go without.
@@NihilisticHatred With the M&P 15 Sport 2, would you need to change the stock gas block and 16" barrel to install the Magpul Mid-Length or Rifle-Length Hand-Guard? Is there a lightweight and durable Barrel/Gastube/Handguard package you would recommend for the M&P 15 Sport 2? Or is it better to install an entirely new Upper Receiver Package? I'm currently using the Magpul MOE M-Lok Carbine-Length Handguard, looking to find the most optimal setup and form.
@@TeslaSoCalm&p 15 is a carbine length. You don’t need a mid or rifle length Handguard. If your going to go through the trouble of getting a new barrel just to use the magpul midlength or rifle length hand guard, you might as well just keep your barrel you already have and get a low profile gas block from bcm and get a bcm free float Handguard. Will cost the same as getting a new barrel but your getting a much sturdier Handguard than the plastic magpul one. For the money, a free float setup is far superior vs a classic style Handguard.
i switched back to the usgi clam shell... the magpul handguards would get hot and shoot all the heat up.... into your sights.... I like magpul but they made this cheap handguard for the..... fanboys who don't really use the rifle much.
@@Dread_Pirate_Homesteader yeah and I'm planning a mod system 45 degree grip, bayonet, and bipod. Maybe a light as well I haven't decided on what. I want to be able to feel the weight balance before I decide a light system.
@@BeyondSeclusion sorry it's just a little bit frustrating every video I have found doesn't actually show the removal or the installation of the handguard or they start the video with the handguard already removed. Every time that I've done one I end up fighting the damn thing I need a third hand to pull the handguard off while I use both hands to push down the damn doohickey. People on these videos make it sound like it's a piece of cake but they don't actually show themselves doing it and if I knew an easier way to do it I would post an installation video
Got ya, I think it depends on the gun, mine was really easy. Honestly, that was the only one I have done. I would do a video but I don't have it anymore. Sorry@@anthonyb556
@@BeyondSeclusion I've changed out 3 and they all sucked. a little bit of oil helps to get that circular thing moving down but can't grip the damn thing when it's oily lol
Yes - for DROP IN handguards. Magpul makes them in the different gas lengths, so make sure you get the right length. (I've seen carbine length and mid-length)

How to you like the Sig
Great looking hand guard, and perfectly functional! I want one!
That is a nice looking handguard, I would consider using it.
Just put one of these in fde on my 6920. I want to put a light on my gun but don't want to pay 100 and up for a decent quad or some sort of other handguards.
I found it VERY helpful to use a credit card in between both halfs when you get a little gap to seperate.
Yeah... I guess it IS that simple when you don't actually show it being done. Where's all the cussin' that comes when I'm struggling to get the thing off or on.-
Well there is plenty of hand guard tutorials on RUclips. Pretty much the same process for carbine lengths
@@PeytonPoole-k9u My mistake. I thought THIS was a "tutorial".
Amen brother!!! 😂😂😂😂
I would prefer this over a quad rail for example and you can mount a light.
Oh my God I can't wait to get mine I'm definitely getting tan and I'm getting one for the AK as well
Thanks for the quick show and tell
nice video! I like it's short...to the point and useful. Cheers and thanks again!
you should check out the SL handguard the bottom and sides go past the front sight base it really rocks
I did and was going to get it but this one has the "Sling" attachment and it would push it forward and not function and look kinda funny. It does look NICE.
@@BeyondSeclusion I usually just punch the pinout and use a piece of paracord tied off to the A2 sight for a sling Mount anyways since it's silent instead of clinging around
The SL will fit too. You just have to drill out the bolt on that sling mount and it fits right over!
You can also drive the front sling swivel rivet with a punch.

What kind of a rifle is that? It looks great!
PSA AR 15
@@BeyondSeclusionwe need a full video of that rifle. I did end up finding it on PSA’s website. Looking into purchasing it now
The SL version is better, but it took 2 of us to install it. Having said that, I love it.
No it’s not. Not at all lol.
The sl suffers from getting hot where the moe does not. Plus the fact you have to remove your sling attachment point from your front sight post. If you want a slim Handguard get a free float and don’t wast time on the slim line
How well does it manage with heat, as it is pretty open at 12 o'clock where the gas tube sits and only has 1 heat shield? Thanks!
VERY WELL!
excuse me. is that a 7 inch or 9 inch moe handguard?
What barrel length is that?
Can the heat shield be easily removed? I’m probably wrong, but it actually looked like black plastic instead of metal. I doubt thin plastic would actually work in that application. Anyway, wouldn’t it need to be removed to add an M-Loc forward grip?
It’s metal ya goof
Thank you for your sarcasm!
Would this fit a 7.5 ar? How long is this hand guard
Are you able to put a rail on the bottom to add a grip? Or would I have to buy a new hand guard????
I think so, I don't have it anymore to look at.
No need to add a rail, an MLOK compatible grip can be installed in one of the long slots. You *can* install a rail to add a grip to a more specific place, but you can most certainly go without.
What grip is being used?
What size barrel is being used?
Can you make a video about using a red dot with a front A post? Surely such a tail post gets in the way?
Not at all actually, a lot of people find it easier to acquire your target with a fixed front sight,
@@punk303 do you have a sight picture as an example? So the red dot acts as the rear sight?
@@zandvoort8616 no, you still only use the dot. The front sight just helps draw your eye to the target
@@punk303 so to clarify, I assume you’re taking about co-witness where the target, top of the front post and red dot align? Then you’re on target?
@@punk303 and the rear sight is flippped down?
What's the length of this magpul hand guard?
I have a magpul moe hand guard and I ordered a magpul bipod for m-lok and it doesn’t fit… idk where I went wront
Maybe it's a Gen 1, i think m-lok was integrated in Gen 2
Is this compatible with a smith & Wesson m&p sport 2?
Yep I rock an army green/Forrest green setup I painted
What size of this handguard is best for a 16 inch barrel. 8.6 or 6.6
For 16 inch barrels you want the 6.6, which is 7.1 over all installed
16 inch barrel with carbine length gas system
The Magpul mid-length handguard. I have one on my PSA Freedom rifle with the 16" barrel.
Can you install the Magpul mid-length or rife-length handguard on the same setup or would you need to change additional parts on the AR15?
Depends on the location of your gas block. If it's a carbine gas block, you'll have to get carbine sized unless you change the barrel.

Agree. That’s not much of a heat shield.
Yeah but if your planning on using a grip and gloves I just think they look better
Yeah I plan for practical

Could you put a AK hanguard on a AR?
Why would you?

Wondering as well. Looks functional.
Thril RTG
That hand-guard only big enough for one hand
Mind if I ask how big your hands are? I am trying to figure out if this will be big in my hands
LMAO....that could really be taken the wrong way 😱 I have really small hands. I wear medium surgical gloves if that helps.

Disagree Magpul is dimensionally wider than the MILSPEC. You’re entitled to you opinion but my arthritic hands say different.
Not on an M4
