I just received my UNISSUED M39 from GUNSNAMMO.COM and had a question for those in the know. The middle barrel band is screwed down as far as it can screw down with about a 1/4 inch gap still between the threads and I can still push the retaining piece on the side and slide the barrel band upward without unscrewing the screw is this normal? Thanks. Mike

Possibly the wrong screw, I'm thinking. You should be able to either, a.)Screw it until it's tight on the handguard and/or b.) until the band is clasped together at the screw.

UPDATE: There was a bur in the threads. A  little break free and a .22 brass brush cleaned it up and the screw gets nice and tight now. Thanks
