Magpul MOE SL Mid-Length Hand Guard description Made in the USA, the Magpul MOE SL (Slim Line) Mid-Length Hand Guard is a lightweight, cost-effective upgrade for AR15/M4 rifles with a mid-length gas system and A2 front sight. Built from reinforced, heat-resistant polymer and equipped with an integral riveted aluminum heat shield, it delivers durable protection and improved handling without the weight and expense of an aluminum rail. Integrated M-LOK accessory slots provide modular mounting options for lights, slings, grips, and other compatible accessories, while the extended front lip help shield your hand from the hot front sight assembly and maximize usable handguard length. Installation is simple using the existing delta ring and a round front handguard retaining cap with an A2 front sight assembly.
Product Highlights
- Mid-length MOE SL (Slim Line) profile replaces bulky factory-style two-piece mid-length handguards.
- M-LOK slots at the 2, 6, and 10 oclock positions for direct-attach accessories or optional Picatinny rail sections.
- Reinforced, heat-resistant polymer construction for reliable durability at a lighter weight than aluminum rails.
- Integral riveted aluminum heat shield helps protect hands from barrel heat during extended use.
- Extended front lip and side extensions help shield the hand from the hot A2 front sight assembly.
