The MOE Hand Guard is a two piece polymer hand guard, that is designed to be a drop in replacement for current hand guards. They are a low weight item, that allow for optional 1913 rail sections to be bolted into place at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions, as well as the 6 o'clock. The front of the hand guard is molded to go forward of the hand guard cap, and flares slightly out and downward giving a positive feel when you slide your hand forward and reach the end. This also gives more surface for trigger pullers who push forward while shooting. The bottom hand guard removes for those people using 37/ 40mm launchers, breaching shotguns, or similar systems.
