i used the tool that hooks under the mag well and took off the plastic handguards to replace with a 2 piece rail.

but now the delta ring doesnt hold much/any tension? maybe i put too much pressure on the springs and weakened them? but i dont see how, this doesnt seem like it should be a problem...is there something im missing?

do i need to re-align the parts inside the delta ring somehow since there is no gas tube holding them in place?

this is on a .22 upper with no gas tube by the way. i see that the springs and other parts are spinning freely if that would have anything to do with it. but there is clearly almost no tension, the delta ring sags all the way down to the receiver, well below the "spikey ring" around the barrel.

Did the snap-ring pop off perhaps?

its on but its spinning freely. i dont see how i could have messed up the weld spring by simply pushing down the d ring. but its sitting about a quarter inch below the barrel nut

it looks like maybe the snap ring is too close to the receiever. its basically touching it.



oh i see now. the snap ring has a groove it needs to be in, and i knocked it out. should be able to get it now thanks

When putting the guards back on.  Smack both after each, is installed with the butt of your hand.  Worst part about the new finagled guards.
Best part is they don't fall apart like that new finagled M16, and offspring the A1.  A2's are hard. Mids, worse and CAR then M4's are a  POA.
