Hi, I would like to get a Magpul "SL Handguard" and I noticed they have a New "M-LOK" AFG that is much thinner, but I just don't like the look of it personally, being it doesn't have the "cutout/skeleton triangle" on it.
I actually want to put an Original "AFG2" on the SL Handguard, just wondering a few things.
I want to be able to wrap more of my thumb over the top of the handguard (C-Clamp), and with the MOE setup, the handguard, (and Accessory Rail) is much thicker compared the the "SL handguard" and "M-LOK" Rails, so the AFG sits way lower.
One thing I do differently though, instead of fitting my hand in the area under the "AFG2", I normally rest my pinky on the middle rib (which the new one doesn't have) and I wrap the tip of my middle finger around the "Front Lip" of the AFG2 (for support/stability), and then wrap my index finger around the Lower Lip of the MOE Handguard (for stability also and pull using those 2 points) and that way I'm at the front of the handguard (rather than the lower portion of the AFG) and it allows me to get higher on the barrel to get a good "C-Clamp." So I place the AFG2 as far as it will go the the front of the handguard.
I know that's kind of an unusual way to use it (I assume), but I figure I can wrap around the "SL Handguard" better (Just hoping the AFG2 doesn't look unusually huge on the Slim handguard.)
Anyone know how much longer the "Front Lower Lip" of the SL Handguard VS the MOE Handguard???
Wondering because I don't have very long arms my no means so just wondering how much further the AFG2 would be away from me, than it currently is on my "MOE" Setup?? Being the Slim Line handguard extends further and covers the FSB..
Anyone used this "AFG2 setup" on the "Slim-Line Handguard" AND "MOE Handguard" or the NEW AFG2 handguard?
If so, Is the length very noticeable or only a 1-2 inches max if mounted at the front of the Handguard??
