I believe the Maryland AR-15 Shooters Site has an article on it: [url]groups.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us[/url]
Don’t think much of the idea myself, but to each his own!! |

I did this yesterday with a piece of $4 suede from a hobby store:

I'll probably replace it with something else when it breaks, either a stronger leather or para cord. It smells good and feels good on the cheek, though! |

The suede looks pretty good. Did you glue it as you wrapped it around the tube? Maybe a thicker piece would work better . Looks good though.

The bottom one is my current setup.
The pink one belongs to SC-Texas. |

The maryland AR15 site will have the instructions I gave ages ago on how to do the wrapping along with a few pictures of the handguard of my rifle.

Whats the best way to tie the ends? Im waiting for my rifle that Pete is building so I dont have anything to look at currently to see whats the best way. Should I over wrap the start of the cord and then tie the one end? Thanks all...

I did that to my ARFX stock but only the top piece...there may be a pic of it in someones archive for the NJ AR blast3...the tied end issue
I used a match and heated the end so they melt and quickly fused the first loop on the stock and did the same for the end loop looks cleaner than having a knot on the end be careful to do it right the first time or you may have to re cord the whole thing |

Looks great! I'd like to try it. Could you recommend a good source to buy some "Para Cord"? What's the best size?
Thanks. |

You can get it at any Army/Navy Surplus Store or online, 50yrds for about $3, in 3-4 different colors! YAY! Edit: (50yrds is more than enough for a handguard wrap) ~Santi |
