| PSA, why do y'all use the triangular handguard caps so much? Ever upper I have ordered has them and I have to change it out with a round cap so I can out Magpul handguards on it. And unfortunately y'all don't offer any uppers with the MOE SL handguards which would save me from the trouble all together. |

Thank you for the inquiry.
Triangle is the industry standard for the mid-length gas barrel, and mil-spec for Rifle length gas. Round is the industry standard for carbine gas, and also the mil-spec for the M4. Don't know why Magpul chose to model a non-standard cap for the mid-length. |
| The original MOE was designed to fit round or triangular handguards. Why Magpul got lazy with the SL, I don't know so I didn't bother with the SL for my midlength or rifles. I just went straight to freefloat. I bought a carbine SL handguard to use on my work rifle. Feels good. |
