How well does a LaRue hadguard stay in place without the "anit rotation device?" It wont fit on my Sun Devil upper.

I've seen it discussed a few times on here before. The consensus has always been that it will be fine. The "keeper" is really just extra assurance. I would trust it without the keeper 100% as long as the barrel nut is properly tightened.

Also, you may be able to modify the keeper slightly to fit (seems like I have seen that discussed as well).

ETA: Sorry I can't give you any first had advice but I don't own a Sun Devil upper.

Sweet. I won't worry about it then.
The keeper cant be modified for the Sun Devil. The upper has an octagonal shape and the screws would never go in.

Is this that pretty blue rifle of your wife's?

Maybe I was thinking about the VLTOR upper. Again, I think you'll be fine without it.
