I too have an Armalite M15A2 NM and yours sound alot like mine. I just wrote it off as all ARs doing this. Other than this, I've been pretty happy with my new Armalite. Break-in process was hell though.

I just bought an Armalite myself, and my handguards are tight. Snap in just like they should.

You might want to take the handguards off and make sure the heat sheilds are in the slots properly then try reversing the handguards (upper/lower). Worked on mine.

Hey!
I have a M15A4 that used to give me problems when trying to align the holes and pins when replacing the handguards. This is prior to getting the tool that depresses the ring to remove/install the handguards. If you don't have one already pick one up! What took me twenty minutes before with a lot of swearing is down to a couple of minutes when using the tool. |

Thanks for the replys, ArmaLite M-15 NM's do not have heat shields, probably not needed due to the float tube. The pins and holes line up fine its just that there too loose and will not stay together. Its like this on or off of the rifle. I would hate to have to glue them, which would make future removal impossible. Seems like ArmaLite should replace them.

You might try taking them off and wrapping some rubber bands around them while properly lined up, and leaving them sit like that for a couple of weeks.
Or, buy some CavArms handguards (none better). -Troy |

Think ArmaLite should have gotten it right the first time. Still have not heard from them on this. Seems like most ArmaLites do snap together properly, I seen a guy with another ArmaLite NM today at the range his handguards were solid. Its the nature of moulded products to sometimes turn out warped or out of spec. I guess I got a bad set. Question is, will ArmaLite replace these? What about it ArmaLite?

Armalite isn't likely to be reading this thread. You should call them at their customer service center, where they are set up to deal with these issues. You have a lifetime warranty.

Nope, no handguards on my M15A2 NM which as stated earlier is prob. b/c the float tube. Just out of curiosity, what did you give for your new Armalite NM? I gave $1250 new. I guess it was an OK deal but not great. I'm gonna finish breaking it in this weekend. Only have 50 rnds through it so far.

Thanks Troy,
Yes I will call them, I Instant messaged them on this forum yesterday. Im sure theyt will make good on it, thats one of the reasons I chose ArmaLite there warranty. I like the rifle, its just the loose handguards give a flimsy feeling to the rifle especialy in the prone position with the sling. F.A. |
