Do all the FF tubes have a swivel stud?
Namely the AR0010BAH. |

No they don't.
We've used two different styles, dependingon what is/was on-hand at any given time. The single piece model can't have a stud in it (or even a hole drilled for one) as the thread on the receivers isn't timed identically. That means that the bottom of the handguard when mounted on one receiver might be ten o'clock on another receiver from the same run. Our three piece tubular handguard is indexable, so it does normally have the hole drilled for the stud, but still doesn't come with it. The stud is really three separate pieces..the AR0010QDN, AR0010QDS, and the AR0010QDW (nut, stud, and washer) which are available through our Sales Department. They can also be used on the single piece tubes, but a hole would have to be carefully drilled once the HG is installed on the upper. You'll need long curved forceps to hold the nut to the inside of the tube (going in behind and around the barrel from the open front end of the tube). Steve/RRA. |
