| I have the SS Cmmg bolt and two magazines. Would like to build a dedicated upper. I know I need an upper, barrel and collar, and delta ring. I would like to go cheap and just use a magpul handguard, so how is it attatched in the front? Do I need a gas block just to hold it on? Thanks for any help. |

Thanks for any help. there is a "handguard cap" that goes between the handguard and front sight base. edit to add - you will also need a delta ring assembly (for the other end of the barrel. |

If you don't have a front sight base then you will need a gas block to hold the hand guard cap (not sure if that's the proper name) in place. I used a UTG Pro super slim free float on my dedicated upper and it was pretty cheap. By the time you buy all of the parts to make a Magpul fit, you could have bought a UTG Pro on sale. |

I have a Magpul MOE on two different rifles and really like them. But, for the effort and money a cheap handguard from Amazon would be a lot easier and less expensive. |
