Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - another noob who can't get his handguards off....
Posted: 4/8/2006 8:43:09 PM EDT
Ok, I've been having no problems with my new dpms up until this point. I just purchased a front grip for the AR and I was trying to install the rail. My father and I were able to get the delta ring fully depressed but for some reason the handguards won't split off. It almost seems as if they are permanently attached to each other Help?

The hand guard not only is retained by the outer ring, but also grips onto the barrel nut splines.

Get the ring all the way down/back, then work out one guard at a time to get it to release from the barrel nut splines (read work one corner, then the rest of it).

Get yourself one of these, makes it a hell of a lot easier, especially
if you have to do it yourself.
