I thought there was a post on this problem within the last month or so, but I cant find it. Anyone know the link? Anyways.......I dont have any 'rattle' on my RRA handguards, everything is tight...........I do have some 'rotational' movement. I would say 1/8" maybe the handguard has this 'side-to-side slop'. I really dont know how else to explain it. It doesnt have any rattle and there is no front-to-back play..........just this every so slight back and forth rotational play. Should this little bit of play be expected out of an M4 handguard? Or is there a way I can tighten things up for literally NO movement, play, or slop? I recently installed an Advanced Armament handguard rail and a Dieter CQD Vertical Grip. This 'play' was in the handguard before the rail/grip was installed, but I really notice the 'play' now with the vertical grip. Rifle: RRA M4 Tactical Entry LE w/ 6 Position Stock |
| You can also try some small pieces of bicycle tire inner tube rubber in the HG cap area. Add the rubber then install the HG's. All of my Bushy M4 handguards were exceptionally tight, one pair of Colt M4's had the same movement you describe and the inner tube was a quick fix... |

Some handguards are more loose than others, and some front handguard caps are more loose than others. Generally our handguards fit very snug...on one occasion I had a customer in the shop with a rifle with a extra loose handguard cap and the handguards would not fit properly. I used a hammer to peen in the handguard cap to snug things up, and it did the job. You may want to give that a try. |
