New Product "MOE Handguard" MAGPUL

FOX_111 · January 25th, 2009, 11:29

I hope they don't go "Flaming Moe's"

They are very nice handgards.

They index pretty well on my Star. However, the upper and lower sections doesn't fit together as tightly as I'd like. Unlike normal M4/16 handguards, there is a bit of looseness.

On another note, I also ordered what appears to be a very new release in the Magpul PMAG department. I ordered a box of 75 round PMAG's (10 per box). So for those of you that want more than their 30rnd "real-cap" mags, and aren't prepared to drop $30+ for a single 120rnd mid-cap, these seem to be the best compromise.

Linkage to WGC product descriptions below. Magpul 75rnd PMAG (10pcs box)
Black
Dark Earth
Olive Drab
Foliage Green

I've been running those for about 3 months now.

I've only ran them in my VFC and CA SCARs.

They feed fine in the CA, however, there are some issues in the VFC.

They feed fine in semi, but pretty much not at all on full.

I haven't tried to modify them yet.

Hmmm, interesting...I just figured they were a much newer release since most of the online retailers don't even have a listing for the 75rnd versions. Usually just the 30's and 120's are available for sale (Redwolf, UNC, Cobra, eHobby, etc.). Did you get yours from WGC as well?

Maybe some retailers figure that these ones would cannibalize the sales of their 120rnd PMAGS. A box of 10, 75rnd mags for $60USD, versus $26USD per 120rnd mag ($260 total). Sure, fewer rounds per mag but still not a hard choice to make considering the price difference. Hopefully mine will perform well enough in my AEG's. We shall see.

I got mine from Airsoftglobal.com

I got mine from WGC. They work well with Star, since Star made them. Interestingly, they're actually marked as 80rd on the mag itself. I think Star accounted for some BBs not feeding.

Note, the cheap mags are very different from the expensive mags. The expensive PMAGs are expensive because they're actual polymer mags, not just cheap plastic.

Does anyone know if this will fit on a CA M15A4 without any mods?

The Saint · January 26th, 2009, 12:28

They're designed to fit all M4/16 that use the standard handguards. Tolerances may vary, of course.

Thanks Saint, that is good news. I ask because I've been told that a TM handguard will not fit on a CA M15A4.

Happy happy, joy joy!

I've got a question that I hope someone who has one of these can answer. I've got a CA M15A4 Tactical Carbine with a barrel mounted shorty m203, I've been looking for an alternative to the stock upper handguard. Does anyone know if the top half of this will fit along side a barrel mounted m203?

Thanks,
Kuro_Neko

The Saint · January 26th, 2009, 13:07

I can't say for sure first hand, since I don't have a M203. However, what I've seen on the internet is that the Magpul handguard is designed to accommodate a barrel-mounted M203.
