The Magpul MAG494 MOE M-LOK Handguard transforms the Mossberg 590 and 590A1 shotgun platform with modular accessory mounting and enhanced ergonomics. This polymer handguard replaces the standard factory forend with a modern M-LOK compatible system that accepts lights, grips, and other tactical accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional shotgun forends that limit accessory options, the MOE M-LOK system provides multiple mounting points without permanent modifications to the firearm. The polymer construction weighs significantly less than aluminum alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under recoil. Heat-resistant materials ensure the handguard remains cool during extended firing sessions, addressing a common issue with standard plastic forends.

The modular design allows users to configure accessories based on specific mission requirements while maintaining the shotgun's reliability. Weather-resistant materials handle moisture and temperature extremes without degrading grip texture or structural performance.
