[ARCHIVED THREAD] - upper handguard rotates

I have an AK 47S and the upper handguard rotates to the left after a few shots. Any good ideas for fixing this?

thanks

You can either replace the wood or slightly crimp the steel journal on the left side,it bends fairly easily.

Also...in addition to JohnO's solution, make sure that the spring retainer is still on the upper! This helps keep it form moving.
