zeus1gdsm 2 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Quick questions.... 1) can i use a crush washer or some other substitute for a lower handguard retainer? 2) so i need tension clips for front hamdguards? 3) some tinfoil in said guards for a heat shield?

onehappycampster 25 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't use a crush washer. Stick with a handguard retainer. I purchased this one and it works well. I would see how the handguard fits before buying some retainer clips. Tin foil would work but I don't feel it will hold up well. Stick with a large beer can or energy drink if you're going to make your own. Edited August 13, 2012 by onehappycampster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onehappycampster 25 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) You couldn't remove the top handguard? Read over this. Edited August 14, 2012 by onehappycampster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
