ironhead7544 35 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Do these fit your poly lower handguard? Mine has a little play in it. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalash103 0 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I would also like to know if tension springs work with the loose fitting kvar synthetic handguards. Hopefully somebody who knows will reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elliot@kvar 4 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi guys sorry for the late reply. The AK-036 you are talking about is actually for the wood stocks. I just went back and took a look at one of the rifles and also talked with the Tech. That piece is actually built into the poly handguards so it isn't needed. Yours are probably lost because the retainer that holds them in probably just needs to be tightened. Try tightening the retainer and that should take care of the problem. If it doesn't help let me know and I'll see what else I can find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironhead7544 35 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks for the info. I can see no springs at all on the lower handguard. Front or back? Do you have a pic that shows the spring? I guess mine is missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The handguard retainer in my brand new sgl21-94 is in full locked down position but still moves around freely within the barrel notch because the notch is too deep and wide. There is no way to tighten the retainer. Edited October 23, 2011 by Kalash103 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot@kvar 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 When you look at the retainer there should be a little lever on it. If you pull the lever up you can slide the retainer and then lock it back down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Don't know who made my handguard, but it was loose, plastic and had no spring or heat shield. I used the parts from wooden handguard (I built a 'rusty Romy') and the venerable dremmel to add the spring and shield to the cheapo plastic one. Works like a charm!
