I started researching carbine handguards and happened across AB Arms. The word was good so I gave it a shot. I have to say I am impressed so far, it feels great in the hand and it didn't take me long to attach two Magpul MOE rail sections to the upper handguards (5 slots). The 5 slot section overhangs the MOE slot in the built-in handguard but AB Arms makes a 4-slot that fits. Magpul MOE MVGs (the MOE attachment not M-Lok) vert grips fit the handstop's MOE slot.
To me it seems to match my OD green Magpul furniture but my GF has sharper eyesight and says they're not a spot-on match but pretty much close. You'll never fully match anyway, even among the same manufacturer.
I punched my sling swivel out, you don't really have to but it does kind of push on it if it is present, so keep that in mind. This will only fit an M4-style round handguard cap, any weird home builds with a triangle cap are out of luck.

Almost perfect

I really liked the handguard but I had to modify it to mount a front flip up sight. If a model with a picatinny rail along the top was available, the handguard would be about perfect (I also modified it with a QR sling attachment on the front bottom of the grip. Now it IS perfect)
