Can I use a standard handguard cap and delta ring with a 16" aac 300 blackout barrel? It looks like it is contoured differently and nothing to run the handguard cap up against. It has a low profile gas block. The barrel is an exact match to any standard AR-15 barrel. The 300BLK uses all standard parts for the AR-15 except the barrel of course. So, to answer your question yes you can use the standard handguard cap and delta ring with your 16" aac 300 blackout barrel. |

The thing is the barrel is contoured differently. There is nothing to stop the handard ring when I slide it to the rear. The cap would be held forward against the gas block with pressure from the delta ring on the handguards. Is that good enough?

With a low profile gas block I am not sure you can use that. You should be looking at a standard A2 sight post for the front to hold the forward portion of a standard handrail. It seems you either need a different rail or a different front gas block. |

My handguard washer was a super tight friction fit on the barrel, and as you point out the wave spring and delta ring push the handguard forward. If you're using a low profile gas block what forward sight are you using? Is this a flat top receiver with a scope or red dot? |
