anyone know if the MOE handguards will work with this upper? will they clear a “mid weight profile” barrel?
Negative, for now at least.
Right now magpul only makes carbine length handguards 7"
Mid length is 9"
Mid length and rifle length handguards are due out this fall.
May i suggest these,

I have the C6 on my BCM mid length
will the heat sheilds clear the heavier barrel? from the photos i have seen it looks like a fairly narrow channel for the barrel at least in the carbine length one.
Yep, they’ll clear a heavy barrel. If its close you can bend the heat shield a little.
ok cool thanks.
