CSS forearm slop take out

[sneaky 2]

Figured i'd share. Absolutely love that forearm but there was just a tiny bit of play where it hooks into the receiver. It was especially noticable with the vert grip on, giving an ever so subtle "clink" when pushed forward or aft on the grip. So i set out to try and fix it.

 

 

You can see the gap between the receiver and forearm. idk if this is like this on all of the guns out there. I'd assume so since there's some variance like everything else on these guns lol

 

I wanted to use a set screw thru the bottom but there wasn't enough metal from the forearm to bite into with out worrying me of busting thru the metal on the receiver. so i looked around and found that I could go in thru the sides and butt up against the front of the receiver.

 

Drilling holes

By some magic and improper tools I managed to make two perfectly round and straight holes at an odd angle on a round piece of aluminum. Proud of myself.

 

Add some set screws

Little bit of paint. probably will be going over it all again with duracoat.

 

 

Done! hope this maybe inspired some creative thinking out there.

Looks good. I'm going for that same handguard.

Cool man. Went with that because all i wanted was a littke bit of rail on the bottom for a vert grip to make it more comfy with the drum. That and i think the tri-quad rails, although cool looking, are a bit much. Good luck
