I bought an already built Romy G and the lower handguard was rather loose. It appears that it should have a metal ferrule on the back side of the handguard. Does anyone know where I can get one of these for a reasonable price?

Numrich carries them but are sold out.

K-Var carries them for 2x the price, and then wants $14 shipping!

Any other ideas?

Your Romy G is an AKM, which doesn't use that piece. It's possible that someone installed a lower handguard from a Type 3 on your rifle. Get a Romy lower and it should be good.

I think you're right about someone using the wrong the handguard. So you think I'd be better off just getting the right lower? The Romy is pretty standard though, so could I just get about any AKM lower? Are there any that I should avoid?

Thanks

Yeah, you can use any lower for the AKM or AK-74. You're not limited to Romy. None that I can really think of to avoid.
