Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Problem with a twisted handguard cap?
Posted: 10/28/2004 4:24:43 AM EDT
I recently purchased an older stripped Colt barrel and have a problem with the front handguard cap being twisted 180 degree's around, with the gas tube opening near the bottom.  Am I missing something here, but isn't this part simply press fit and I should be able to turn it around correctly?  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this task?  Thanks in advance for any advise.

It should spin around.
