say what?

what you are saying is... you bought handguards... and they are in a triangular shape.. and they won't fit your round handguard cap?

or round handguards that won't fit your triangular handguard cap?


And then where do the MOE handguards come in?


Come come now.. use your words...

You sure you are pushing hard enough?






Regular A2 handguards are a bitch to get in sometimes.  If you look closely, A2 handguards are designed to fit the triangle front plate or round front plate.

No, a magpul handguard is not free floating, it attaches the same as a standard a2 handguard.

There isn't a single handguard out there that will fit the DCM style free float tubes without modification.  I'm not sure if the MOE's can be modified to work with it at all or not.  The FDE guards you have should be modified easily enough.
