I have seen pictures of magpul hand guards with no front site base. I thought the magpul handguards needed to press against the front site base to be secure. Am I wrong? I "think" I have even seen the magpul handguards over low profile gas blocks.

Any feedback/pictures would be helpful I am looking to build a new upper.

This is how I set my grendel up until I get a ff tube on it. low profile gas block with a triangle (round works too but it's what I had available at the time) cap. Hopefully this pics will give you an idea. Can't get the pics to post but here's the links for them.

Exactly, thanks for the pictures. Is there anything I need to do to get the MOE grips to work with a low profile gas block? Do I need an endcap triangle or otherwise?

Yeh all you need to mount the handguards is a delta ring assembely and a triangular or circular endcap

Appreciate the info, based on the pics above it looks as though the MOE handguard goes over the endcap, is that correct?

correct, but leaves enough room to a sling swivel if you have a standard front sight base.
