I can't figure out if my lower handguard is just a bit too long and needs to be sanded down a few hundreds of an inch or if it's just that tight?
I was always taught never to force anything! When putting together a gun. But damn this hammer is looking better and better every second

Some of mine are tight some aren't but I would think better a little tight than loose I guess as in anything. |

Depends on the overall length of your handguard.
If it's too tight to lock in place, it means your handguard is too long and you can't move the handguard retainer back far enough to make the retainer pin close correctly. Remove the handguard and make sure the pin works smoothly when closing/locking. If it does, then you probably need to take some material off the front of the handguard (this is assuming the rear of the handguard is sitting firmly/flush against the front of the receiver. Make sense ?? KF |

I learned the hard way never to force this lever........I broke it on my first build. One way to help is to take a small non-marring hammer and tap the front plate towards the rear. If the handguard is just tight, it will help the lever close. If the handguard is too long, the lever will still be tight and won't close. When I'm playing with the lower handguards, my small hammer is always present. J |
