After a long and cold shoot I noticed a rattling noise coming from inside the handguard. I found that a piece from the upper portion of my moe had broken loose, the part that slides into the HG cap. I don’t think this affects anything as the handguard is still locked into the HG cap fairly snug. I am curious if anyone else has experienced something similar or has the MOE ever had a failure to the extent that would render attachments unusable.
I staked my own ASAP plate incorrectly, I asked them for advice on how to stake the next one (I was about to order it) and they sent me a new ASAP plate, an MS2 sling, and a Magpul RSA for free. Edit: Here is the thread http://mail.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=73032
If I didnt already have 55 Pmags I would still be slinging money their way.
So again, Contact Magpul. I am in no way saying they will give you free stuff, but situations like mine are not unheard of with those guys. Class A people in Colorado that really stand behind what they sell.
I’ve never heard of one breaking. But I did notice you can install them incorrectly and still have them appear normal. The little tab that broke off is exactly where I had mine installed incorrectly the first time I put it in. Everything looked normal except one side of the MOE didn’t “seat” completely. Was hard to notice at first. Just a tiny bit off. When I took it off to re-install, I noticed a little scuff on the inside of that tab that shouldn’t really contact anything. Nearest I can figure is that tab got forced (by me) to the wrong side. Hard to tell since you can’t see in there when it’s installed. When I put it back on, it went on super easy and everything was perfect. Lesson? These don’t need to be forced on. If you have to, something’s wrong.
