The Magpul MOE M-LOK Handguard (brand part number MAG424-FDE) is a Flat Dark Earth polymer carbine-length handguard built for AR-15 and M4 rifles running a carbine-length gas system. Made in the USA, it combines the light weight of a standard handguard with M-LOK modular flexibility, adding M-LOK slots at the two, six, and ten o’clock positions for direct-mounting lights, slings, and grips without extra rail sections. Reinforced, heat-resistant polymer construction is backed by an integral riveted aluminum heat shield for real operational durability, while front extensions and a lower lip protect the hand from a hot front sight assembly. It installs on the existing delta ring using a round or triangular front handguard retaining cap, and a relieved area at the top rear clears many overhanging optic mounts.
