What are the numbers on the rail used for?
Hey where did you buy your ROLL PIN HOLDER???
I Have not seen one before yours.
Someone needs to show this guy what a crows foot is. Lol my goodness
I installed a free floating handguard on my Ruger AR-556 and it is over gassed. I never shot it without the free floating, but the first time I shot it with red army standard ammo it had a lot of issues. I might try a heavy buffer tube string
Take the damn stock handguards off first!. It will remove the pressure transfered from the delta spring pushing through the handguards onto the front sight post, So the pins will come out easier…..If you were to build this rifle as it is, The last thing that would be installed is the hand guards.. So they should also be the first to come off!..Not picking on ya, But comming from a 60 yr. old retired vet.. That has built too many ARs….
That moment when you assembled an AR with a crescent wrench, hammer, and a leather man
And after buying a free float hand guard before watching tutorials on installation, I've come to the conclusion I'm missing a lot of parts… Like factory replacement gas blocks? Had no clue… Special wrenches? Nope… Torque ratios? I'm sure this is a simple task for an experienced builder, but holy shit.
Nice upgrade I should do that to my del ton.
were those set screw holes already present on the barrel when you screwed in the low pro block?
I have DTI Sport Del-TOn AR 15 could someone please tell me if thats a fixed sight or i can replace the handguard rails to 15"?
Does the barrel nut come with the rail? If not what is that certain barrel nut called.
What size gas block?
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to do it. Very well produced!!!
Sorry noob here. Do I need to remove the charging handle and bolt in order to install the gas block and tube? Or can i leave them in while i install the gas block?
Regarding how to calculate the torque when using an adapter.
The formula is old torque X old length/ new length.
Or attach the adapter at a 90 degree angle to the torque wrench.
Interested in this hand guard setup. Can’t seem to find it anywhere online. Is the barrel nut included with the hand guard?
Very informative, thank you!
This the best video I have seen. But one question does this also work on a Smith & Wesson AR- 15 sport 2
What kind of light do you have? Either you have a good camera objective, or a good lighting. Or both. Everything is illuminated quite well.
this video helped me a lot thanks
too fucking anal you dont need all those tools extra money
To insure alignment and proper spacing at the junction of the free float tube and the picatinny top rail on the receiver, use a one piece picatinny scope mount. Bridge the gap and tighten the locking nuts on the mount. This will ensure proper fit if something has to attach on both sided of the joint.
Holy shit, I did not expect there to be this much info and so many steps to change the handguard. And all the tools you need and how exact number of inches and pounds of pressure. Ive got alot to learn before I buy my first AR.
Whts the size on tht keymod and barrel?
