The full quad drop in only weighs an additional 4 oz. That pretty much steered me into just a full drop in quad rail.

The aluminum rails that weren't fully quad rail often weigh less than my polymer moe handguard, which makes me wonder how thin the metal is and therefore easy to bend or crack if I were to, let's say, slip and fall into a tree or something. I've seen a few aluminum ones that only have rail on the top and bottom and require rail sections on the sides, etc., etc., etc.
If I went quad rail I planned on getting more caps to cover unused rail to save my fingers the pain. I've considered buying the afg and a rail section and trying it out on this handguard, if I don't like how it sits, then get the quad rail. I've poked around at the various drop in handguards available.

I couldn't find a barrel with my desired specs with an f marked fsb already installed, I had to purchase it separately and install on my own.

This gun I built from scratch, with the intent of never going free float.
Yeah I'm familiar with the different handguard systems. Some offer a small degree of "modularity" with a small 1913 rail section that can be added to them, usually the front bottom end, or a stud can be mounted for a bipod. Tubes are pretty much for lightweight, hunting, and competition guns. Disadvantage here is that you're relying on the mounting system to hold the stuff on (not really that big of a concern for 98% of shooters since you won't be using these in a life or death situation). Advantage here is less weight, and you don't need to buy rail covers since your rail sections are only as big as you need them and where you need them. If you don't need to mount a ton of stuff to your rifle a modular rail is probably the way to go since you can put small rail sections where you need them, or buy something that interfaces with the rails mounting system (Keymod, MLOK, or proprietary). Quad rails shine when you start adding more and more stuff to your rifle, but are also known as "cheese graters" if you don't put some rail covers on them and shoot without gloves on. The big advantage here is they free float your barrel, with the downside being cost and most require the use of a new barrel nut. Has anyone mounted anything on the magpul moe handguard?įree float rails come in three categories: tube, quad, and modular (I.E. Yeah yeah it's all preferences, but still someone may say something that helps me decide. I like quadrails, this is the only moe I've ever had, so now I'm confused about my choices. I don't want to buy required accessories for the moe if I decide to go quadrail, but I don't want to spend the coin on a quadrail if mounting on the moe is better than I think it will be.
The handguard is nice by itself, but adding an angled foregrip might feel weird opposed to one mounted on a quadrail. I've never mounted anything on this moe handguard so I'm not sure how well it holds up. If I go quad it will likely be MI or Troy. My wife thinks the moe makes the gun look more like a toy, she likes the quadrail look better. Also, mounting on the rails of a quadrail may be more durable than on this moe and probably easier and more convenient. It doesn't look as normal as it does with a quadrail. These things can be mounted on the moe handguard for sure, but pictures of this look kinda weird on that handguard. It currently has a midlength magpul moe handguard, which I like, but I've only mounted things on aluminum rail, and I think for additional comfort I'd like an angled foregrip, maybe a vertical grip. Used for ranges under 200 yards primarily.
