How can I get the M5 to fit on my HBAR?  Do I punch out the roll pin in the front to take out the little spacer?

No, mine fits on my HBAR perfectly.

What problem are you having exactly?

There is a bracket on the front that is held on by a roll pin.  The bracket is too small to fit around the barrel and the front of the M5 will not fit under the lip of the handguard cap.

ETA: I got it, it was just an amazingly tight fit.  It scratched the shit out of my delta ring.  Thanks for the linked instructions.

You have to unscrew the bottom part of the top rail so that it hangs down. I had to bend the round holder behind the front sight to get my M5 in it perfectly, then I bent it back over it. Should require only a few seconds with a pair of pliers.

I want to thank USMC88-93 for linking the instruction download.  I got my handguards in the mail yesterday and would have been lost without the pdf manual.

BTW, the extra hinge/brl mount that was in my roll, is that to use with a 203 mount or does it need to be installed with the lower hg?

Thanks

what upper do you have?

I just installed a RIS on my RRA uuper with a HBAR a few minutes ago and it was a major PAIN! I had to use a mallet and also scratched the hell out of my delta ring. It sure isnt going anywhere though....
