Unfortuneately that is the downside of using a two piece system. I too purchased a #17 expecting a solid as a rock feel. There are some things you can do, but if you want a truly solid platform, I would highly recommend trading in the #17 for the #20 free float. I just installed it on mine in replacement of the #17 and am very pleased. For the extra $30 or so bucks, definitely worth it. Dremeling off the delta ring and such was a rather easy thing to do. Good luck!

My rifle length set is tight as a drum. Possibilities... Issue with an out of spec barrel nut. - Probably not since you tried two. Handguards are not really seated on the nut, and under the delta ring. - But if you have end to end play probabaly not. Rails are out of spec. In which case they'll give you a new one and make it up to you somehow. Mine were so tight they wouldn't seat properly and that led to mine having some issues. Once I got them seated properly they didn't move at all. |

Two piece rails (by ANY company) are generally never going to be as tight as a FF rail (not designed to be). If you are mounting a VG and a light on them, I really don't see why it matters if they have some slight movement.

Thanks guys,
I talked to Troy and he had some recommendations, then offered to inspect and replace it. He was extremely helpful. Anyway, as I was taking them off I noticed that the hanguard cap on my brand new Stag upper looked out of round. I pinched it a bit with channel locks and what do you know... the MI is rock solid. Lesson: MI rocks! Do not hesitate to deal with them through BravoCompany or G&R Tactical. |

What is the delta ring and how do you dremel it off?
I've been looking this evening at FF rail foreends and have seen it mentioned that the delta ring has to be removed. What's it all about? |

 As a note: Removal of the delta ring is only for the MI#20 (not the MI#17 discussed above) |

I just got a set of their 2 peice FF rails for my beowulf, although the end cap does not fit over the barrel, since the beowulf has such a heavy barrel, they FF system is a very nice peice. I am going to try opening up the ID of the cap and make it fit on the beowulf. Other than this i would recommend their FF systems for someone looking for a way to get FF withut having to remove FS/Gasblocks, and not wanting to pay for the more exspensive systems.
YHM 2 peice non FF handguards are very nice also, I have the Non-FF handguards on my Bushy and they are ROCK solid. Im sure MI's are the same if they are like the quality of their FF system. |

+1 for the 2 piece rail system.
I was expecting something not of the best quality since they are relatively inexpensive(compared to KAC), but I was pleasantly surprised. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the rails, and then when I put them on my bushmaster upper, even better. Not even a hint of wiggle in them. I threw on my VFG and tried to shake them through that but still, no movement at all. I would not hesitate to try any of their other products. |
