[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about a Handguard...

Posted: 5/19/2011 1:08:40 PM EDT

i have a new Del-Ton 16" MOE Carbine See It Here. and after around 200 rounds i noticed that the hand guard is starting to rotate from side to side and it feels like it is only stopping because of the gas tube..

is a little wobble normal or is it a problem with the barrel nut?

i have an m4 that i made with standard hand guards, mine do wiggle around like yours very slightly. wouldnt hurt to check the barrel nut if thats what you think it may be.

Check the barrel nut. It might be loose.

well i checked the barrel and the barrel nut, they are both tight. maybe i just need to relax and understand that non railed hand guards can and will move a little.

I don't know. I don't recall having that issue.
