The Magpul MOE M-LOK Rifle-Length Handguard (brand part number MAG427GRY) is a Gray polymer hand guard built for AR-15/M16 rifles running rifle-length gas systems. Magpul Original Equipment (MOE) construction keeps the weight of a standard hand guard while adding M-LOK slots for modern accessory mounting. Reinforced, heat-resistant polymer with an integral riveted aluminum heat shield stands up to sustained firing, and unlike many hand guards built for direct impingement only, this one works with both direct impingement and most piston-driven gas systems. It’s a versatile, direct-fit replacement for a worn or damaged rifle-length hand guard.
