Mounting magpul afg to my moe furniture?

AR/M4 AR General Discussion

Hello everyone, total newbie here with a newbie question. I just got my first ar, a colt le 6920 with moe magpul furniture. I want to install an angled for grip and am looking at my options. It appears the m-lok accessories aren’t compatible with the moe furniture on my colt. Has anyone used magpul’s m-lok to moe adapter?

I guess my other option is to install a rail and attach the afg with a picatinny mount. What avenue would you guys/gals recommend? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Something like this would work good for the afg1

Steve, I mounted a Magpul rail section to my MOE handguard and attached the AFG to it. Worked perfectly.

^^^ Yes, that is the method as designed, to install a MOE rail section.

If you decide you want to use MLOK accessories, then yes you can use the MLOK to MOE adapter.

Hey everyone, that’s what I was looking for. 556BlackRifle, that looks perfect, was that the 11 slot rail section bloodlord77 linked to? Do you find that this set up is comfortable to shoot with? I was concerned that with the addition of the rail, the grip area might be too high. Did you go with the afg 2 or the larger original version? Thnaks again, and congrats, that’s a nice setup you have there.

Hi djegators, does use of that mlok to moe adapter require modifying the moe hand guard? Thanks again.

Nope, no mod to hand guard

Hmmm, unless I’m reading that wrong (and thats quite possible, LOL) that looks like they are mounting moe accessories onto a m-lok handguard - i’m going the other way.

There are magpul factory adapter kits for what you want to do, about 9-10$ :

Sorry, posted wrong pic, but yeah the adapter kit does what you want.

IMO, don’t install the AFG.

How much have you shot w/out the AFG?
Why do you want the AFG?

Have you considered this?

Getting confusing. The original AFG and AFG-2 use the picatinny rail. The newer M-LOK designed AFG’s do not use the picatinny rail, and attach directly to the handguard. The newer design would require the adapter kit, while the older type would only need a picatinny rail section.

The MLOK AFG direct attaches direct to the new magpul hand guards, which are MLOK. You need the adapter to use the MLOK on the older style, MOE hand guards.
