If they do, I've never seen them.

Would love the colors to match up. Why wouldn't you expect them to? |

At least the rails match black handguards. Originally Posted By Matt_B: Why? Probably so that they would match their M.O.E. Hanguard colors. I have a FDE M.O.E. handguard.

Why wouldn't you expect them to?  If you really want rails to match, paint them. Me, I stopped caring about matching colors a long time ago. I find that the different colors and shades make for excellent camouflage.  |

If you are putting rail sections on the MOE handguard, wouldn't they just be covered up by whatever accessory you're putting on? If you aren't putting any accessory on it, then why bother have it on at all.

Can't you just dye black rails? People do it with Pmags.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. |

There are some FDE MOE rails floating around. We did a run for Knight's awhile back for the Magpul Dynamics SR15 rifle.
What length do you need? I might have some around the the house. |
