The Magpul MOE Trigger Guard (MAG417-FDE) delivers practical improvements over the traditional AR-15 trigger guard. Whether you’re outfitting a new build or upgrading your current rifle, this drop-in part enhances ergonomics and reliability in a wide range of shooting environments.
Constructed from high-strength polymer and finished in Flat Dark Earth, this component is engineered to endure hard use. It resists flexing, cracking, or warping—making it a dependable solution for shooters operating in extreme temperatures or field conditions.
Its shallow “V” shape provides much-needed clearance when wearing gloves, making it ideal for tactical operations, cold-weather shooting, or range work in full gear. Unlike standard metal guards, which leave an uncomfortable gap between the grip and the receiver, the MOE design fills that space entirely, removing pressure points and the need for additional gap fillers.
The non-folding structure means no hinges or moving parts to worry about, and its rounded edges prevent snags on gear or clothing, maintaining a clean and streamlined profile.
Installation is quick and simple. It uses three set screws to secure the guard to the lower receiver—no roll pins or hammers required. This means reduced risk of damaging your receiver and a stress-free install for both first-time builders and seasoned gunsmiths.
