Magpul MAG494-FDE MOE M-LOK Handguard Polymer FDE Mossberg 590/590A1

The Magpul MAG494-FDE MOE M-LOK Handguard transforms the Mossberg 590 and 590A1 platform with modern accessory mounting capabilities. This polymer handguard replaces the standard factory forend to provide multiple M-LOK attachment points for tactical accessories. The Flat Dark Earth finish matches popular tactical color schemes while delivering enhanced functionality for law enforcement, home defense, and tactical applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic factory forends, the MAG494-FDE incorporates Magpul's proven M-LOK mounting system directly into the handguard design. The polymer construction reduces weight compared to aluminum alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under recoil forces. Four M-LOK slots positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions allow precise accessory placement without permanent modifications to the shotgun.

Key Features

• Four M-LOK attachment slots for lights, grips, and accessories
• Lightweight polymer construction weighs 4.2 ounces
• Drop-in replacement for factory Mossberg 590/590A1 forends
• Flat Dark Earth finish resists wear and corrosion
• Textured grip surfaces provide secure hold in wet conditions
• Compatible with standard action tube assemblies
• No permanent modifications required for installation

Field testing demonstrates the handguard maintains zero shift when accessories are mounted and removed repeatedly. The polymer material absorbs recoil energy effectively during rapid-fire sequences while the M-LOK system holds accessories securely under dynamic movement. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in vehicle operations where the reduced snag profile proves advantageous.
