Using a set or carbine length triangle hand guards (repo or home made) or removing the FSB and replacing the triangle HG cap with a round one are your only options as far as I know.

You are either going to have to change the handguard cap on the barrel with a round one, or you can use a set of triangular carbine handguards.
To change the handguard cap, the two tapered pins on the front sight base will need to be knocked out and the front sight base slid off of the barrel. |

Interesting. Mistake on their part, or meant for those carbine length triangle hand guards maybe? You get a round cap and swap it out.

Wait. I thought all round handguards would fit triangle cap but not vice-versa.

Rifle length works fine, and I have a mid-length round that fits the triangle cap. I just assumed the carbine would be the same |

The pic on their website shows a triangle cap on the 16" barrel. |

Getting the front sight locks off of some manufacturers barrels is almost impossible...this one was not.. Still WTF were they thinking on the triangle lol

this really doesn't qualify as a nightmare. LOL!! A real nightmare would be using a M1 or VP marked barrel as a pry bar thinking it was a shot out CMP Chrome Bore barrel or selling that junker slickside SP1 upper only to realize it was a 601 or a 602 upper after the sale was finalized. |
