| I'm relatively new to AR15s so this may be a stupid question but what the hell. I've read about how to remove the two piece handguards from the standard AR15 but what about the one piece handguards on the varmint guns. The reason I'm asking is because I just purchased a Rock River varmint model and realized if I ever wanted to remove it for cleaning I would not have a clue how to get it done.... |

Most free float varmit type handguards are screwed onto the barrel nut or incorporate a barrel nut in the end. Either way, use a strap wrench near the receiver, properly supporting the receiver in action blocks, and unscrew it but only after removing the gas tube because it too secures the barrel nut. |
