The Magpul MIAD/MOE Plus AR-15 pistol grip core is a modular battery storage insert designed for shooters who want to keep spare batteries accessible without adding bulk to their rifle. This polymer core unit fits inside Magpul's MIAD and MOE grip families, turning dead space into practical storage for the batteries your optics depend on. Whether you're running an EoTech sight, a headlamp, or another piece of gear powered by AA, AAA, or N-type batteries, having spares within arm's reach means you're never caught short at the range or in the field.
The core uses an internal spacer to keep batteries secure and rattle-free, so you won't hear shifting during movement or shooting. The rubber cap features markings on both sides to help you identify which batteries have been spent, a small detail that pays off when you're working fast. Opening the cap takes just a thumb push—no tools, no fiddling around. The whole assembly is water resistant, so your backup power stays dry even when conditions get damp.
This is a core unit only; it installs inside compatible Magpul grips (MIAD, MOE, MOE Plus, MOE-K2, and MOE AK models). If you already own one of those grips or are building an AR with one, adding this battery storage core is a straightforward way to gain redundancy without redesigning your setup.
