I picked up a set of these from DSA.  I am having an interesting time getting them on my rifle however.  For the life of me I cant seem to get them alligned propery to the scope mount or the barrel.  

They sit on the barrel at a slight angle and slightly lower than the scope mount.  I followed the direction completely and have taken them on and off several time now.  Do I need to add washers to the screw near the gas block?

Here is the handguard I am talking about

Does anyone have any ideas?

i too had a bitch of a time getting them on.  i had to bend the gas end, just to fit it over the rifle.  

then after that, the screw was too short to fit through.  i had to clamp it down to get the screw through.  but everything did work and is now in place.  but it was a bitch.

Yes it is a DSA scope mount as well.  I really like the way it looks and I need the rails to mount a few goodies on.  I guess I will call DSA and try tweaking it some and see if I can get this to work out better.  

I need to take pics and get them up here.  I never seem to use my dig cam

Is your barrel timed correctly? Do you have any windage issues with zeroing?

Eric, you have the rifle I want, I was wondering if you could tell me about it ie:  what model it is, length of barrel and so on.  Thanks.  BTW That is a great looking rifle.  Thanks.

Barrel length is 17 and something inches.  I am sure it use to be 18" but the longer DSA came off and the previous owner put on a A2 FH.  Full story of the rifle here:
