MOE kit for AR

**Pivo** · 10-09-2011, 07:08

These are my first impressions of the Magpul Original Equipment kit on my Astra STG4:

* Pmags - awesome! Already covered in this forum.
* Pistol grip - ergonomically very good, but I expected softer polymer material.
* Trigger guard - outstanding! I was not convinced that I needed it as I am not planning to use gloves, but the new guard also closes the annoying little gap between the (original) trigger guard and the pistol grip, which was rather uncomfortable on my middle finger after a full day on the range.
* Butt stock - great feel and solid fit. The original stock was loose.
* Front hand guard - ergonomically I don't sense any major difference and I am neutral on the design.

Very nice! What all that set you back? If it looks good it should shoot good to!

Very nice, where did you order from?

**Pivo** · 10-09-2011, 08:18

The MOE kit was about $105 plus shipping, sourced from Brownells, multiple orders because of dollar value restrictions(!?)

Yeah figured that one out as well as i am busy ordering a MOE Handguard and buttstock from Brownwells.

Pivo, did you ship to a postbod or street adress? What works best?

In my experience:
* Courier services work better with physical address.
* Postal services work better with PO Box.
* Talk to your suppliers what they going to do. In US for example it is a federal offense to tamper with post. As a result they don't understand our dilemma.

E.g. only this week I had an order returned back to Germany after DHL (DE) handed over to (SA) Post Office. My kit was in the local SAPO for a month and they didn't bother to advise me(!) After a month they sent it back to DE(?!) Just as well I had a tracking number. By the way, it was shipped to my physical address, as I was under the impression that DHL is door to door service. Evidently not always!
