I bought a Wilson Varmint Contour Barrel last year and I am finally putting the upper together. The problem is that the Bushmaster VMatch FF handguard I bought won't fit over the barrel. I also tried a DPMS FF HG that I had laying around for another build and it would fit over the barrel either. The barrell is a SS 20in that is over an inch thick, the FFHG barrel nut lip won't fit over the barrel. Does anyone make a FFHG for this kind of barrel? I would expect so, since the guy I bought the barrel from had one. ETA: I measured the barrel tonight and it 1.05 inches thick. Thanks Steve 'cityrepo61' |

the vmatch bbl. nut is for a hvybbl. and what is sounds like you have is a bull barrel. the bull bbl. is 1 3/16" if i remember correctly at the bbl. extension so you will need a ff for a bull barrel or open up the i.d. of the barrel nut you have. i ran into the same problem when trying to install a yhm tube on my bull bbl. that was suppose to fit, measurements were taken by me and measurements of the tube was given but it was still off so i just opened up the inside diameter of the "lip" on the bbl. nut and it worked perfect. |
I was thinking about that since it is only +-.05 inches. How could I go about doing it? Thanks Steve |
