Installed my MI 2 piece free float  railed hand guards. Really solid. Lined up perfectly.

Very Nice.  I will be ordering mine tonight.  How simple was it to install?  Who did you order it from?  

Ordered it from Bravo Company. $172.00 including shipping. Got it in 5 days. I took the barrel off to save the delta ring. You can cut the delta ring off and install it without removing the barrel. Easy to install. Good tip I got was to use something to keep the rail aligned when tightening the screws. I used a riser rail and split it between the upper reciever flat top and the rail on the new hand guard. They even provided the allen wrenches and locktight. I left the end cap on in case I ever want to take the MI off and replace it with original hand guards. It would look great with the cap removed because it has a forward support that would also keep debris out of the barrel.

I love mine as well. I installed them by cutting off the ring. It was kind of a pain to cut it off though, only because I ended up having to cut the moon clip under the ring as well.

I did not have one problem aligning the top rail at all. In fact it mated right up.

I also did the same thing, leave the front ring on. Not that I want to go back to the 2 piece guards, but I did not want to cut it off.

Shadowcop, could you take/post a pic from directly overtop or underneath it?  I'd just like to get a visual on how wide they are.  

Thanks!

Thanks for all the information. I'm also interested in these and the Samson.

Quick question: Does the forward support you talked about in the first post HAVE to be installed? Doesn't having the support eliminate it from being a true free float? Also, how big is the openning of the forward support as I have a HBAR?


Thanks in advance!

Quoted: Quick question: Does the forward support you talked about in the first post HAVE to be installed? without it you'll have a hard time correctly installing the lower portion of the HG, as it comes in 2 pieces, a top and a bottom. The bottom protion screws to the bottom support ring at the front, which is held in place by 2 screws from the top portion. Doesn't having the support eliminate it from being a true free float? the front support does NOT touch the the barrel, sort of  U  s, around the barrel. Also, how big is the openning of the forward support as I have a HBAR? Didn't measure mine, but IIRC should fit over HBAR barrel. Thanks in advance!

Your welcome,
Mike

That clears up ALOT of issues. Thanks you sir!
