Has anyone in here used the Magpul MOE hand guard for the AK? I see all sorts of promotion videos, but no real reviews. I am trying to figure out if I want to get the Magpul or the Hogue hand guard.

Can't go wrong with either one, I have both and they work fine. If you are getting the MOE AKM handguard, be advised that you will still need to dremel some more material from the handguard to use the forward sling loop, hopefully they fix this when they do a Gen. 2.

Didn't they make a version that has sling loop clearance?

ETA: Yep, here it is.  https://www.magpul.com/products/moe-akm-hand-guard-ak47-ak74

That's the one he's saying needs clearancing!

You really can't beat either one. Both sturdy and comfortable and light.

Yep. They left enough room for the sling loop to stick out, but not enough to actually clip anything to it....maybe a paper clip lol, but not a sling hook.

IMHO Magpul manages heat better and has a wider more comfortable grip. Hogue has a more traditional look. Unless I'm wearing gloves I'd take the Magpul.

Still can't beat a Hogue grip though...
