Okay i just got a set of Knights Handgaurds and when i went to install them on my AR "armalite" the bottom one fits perfect, but the upper on goes under the front "gas block" but the rear just wont seam to fit under the slip ring.... Anyone else have this problem?

The last thing i want to do is dremel them, but it seems as if thats the only way....if you need PICS let me know

Is it a RAS or RIS? Do you have a set of instructions for whichever model you have?

RAS manual.

If it's the RAS and you don't get the locking bracket under the barrel nut, it won't go on properly.
