eric1785 15 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Will a normal ak style handguard work on the 308? Ive search but cant find any pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1liter 20 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Sure will. You will need a new gas tube ($20) and a lower HG retainer either purchased through Dinzag or made your self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loki0629 55 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just want to clarify this a little further. You'll need a gas tube with the upper handguard retainer. Or you can leave that part out and just use the lower handguard with Dinzag's bolt on kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eric1785 15 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I bought a lower retainer for the x39 is it the same one? What is the upper hg retainer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I bought a lower retainer for the x39 is it the same one? What is the upper hg retainer? the lower handguard retainer for the 7.62x39 will not work on the 308. Different diameter barrels. For installation of the upper handguard you will need to purchase a replacement gas tube with the handguard retainers already welded in place. Css and many others sell these.
