... well, not really. I just tried this as an idea to see how it looked. I used the standard carbine length Magpul MOE front hand guard and started wrapping it with the carbon fiber film. Then I reinstalled the rails and this is the result so far. I think it looks pretty good. I'm working on the pistol grip now. It's just a different look. It would be cool to have a real carbon fiber version though. In the meantime, this will have to dol

that actually looks pretty good - nice work! A full flegged carbon fiber set (CTR/MOE grip/handguard) would be pretty nifty - I'd pick up a set.

That looks pretty cool, but I wonder how the adhesive will hold up to heat. I'd be interested to see.

Better patent that shit before Magpul makes CF parts.

Way to make it your own. just another example of how no 2 are the same. As someone on here once said, AR's are like Mr. Potato Head for grown ups. Nice Work!

You install the film using a heat gun and it adheres VERY well. Du to the sheer thickness of the Magpul MOE components, I don't think heat would be a problem at all. I also did a set of the regular AR15 hand guards that have the heat shields inside and I don't think heat would be a problem with those either.

Here is the same film applied to my motorcycle exhaust endcaps - and this photo was taken about two weeks AFTER the installation. No problem with heat here either!!

I love the lllk of CF, so Hell yeah, I'd sure pick up a set. The rails help set off the "high tech" look to me.

I'll put them on this evening and get some good photos to post.
