Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - hand guard tightening
Posted: 3/17/2006 10:13:05 PM EDT
This is my first AR and I have noticed that my handguards are a little bit lose.  They are standard 20" A2 handguards.  Do you guys have any tips on how to tighten those up?  I tried looking at the guides in the Build it yourself section but couldn't find anything.  Thanks for the help!

I had a set of loose carbine HG’s once. I cut small strips of inner tube and shimmed the front of the HG’s where they sit in the retainer cap. Tightened em’ right up!
