the gentlemen is just trying to help,….all of you experts …….come on…
and , yes it can be done by hand,……..but when you have a new weapon that is not broke in ,etc. it is a great help ! thanks again!
thank you for the vid sir !
Does this fire in Semi or Full Auto?
Good Video. Thanks for putting it up. I hope it will work for the new Carbon Fiber Windham AR15. Colonel
Woman and children should not try to remove handgaurds without a tool. All others (except nebel and the ladies) just grab it and pull down.
this is hilarious! i pull the ring down with my hand.
I was looking at a Smith & Wesson M&P Sport 15,and was asking the man at the counter(Dunham's Sports)on how to remove the hand guard(The M&P Sport has rather generic looking handrails).He told me it was rather difficult,Seeing this video is one more step towards my decision on purchasing the gun.I'd never buy one from them,they're $150 more($840)! I found one online for $560.The only difference was the $840 gun had a muzzle break.
I'm sold! –Stand And Fight For The Second Amendment–
is that an Airsoft M16 ??? i want to replace my M16A3 hand guard for a M16 A1 vietnam style
troy battle rail (non free floated)
asked that back when i got my first ar and didnt know anything about them. i think i took the hand guard off on my first one once. my second iv done it maybe twice cuz i shot it in the rain. still would be nice to own though for ease of use when you get a new ar and want to remove the handguard to install a rail
Excellent video, thank you!
Thanks. 🙂
doing this by hand sucks!
could this damage the mag well over time?
lol this video makes me so mad. I just built my first AR recently and getting the handguard halves on was a PITA. Then this guy just shows off this tool and does it so easily haha.
Well I sure am going to buy it, no question there.
this is so usefull for my airsoft gun !
hand guard removal tool, or as i call them HANDS… lol
this is so useless….
That's all fine and dandy, don't need the tool to remove my hand gaurd, but how the F**K does one hammer out the FSB taper pins?!? Jesus Christ they are a PITA!
If you use a tool to remove your handguards YOU might also be a "tool."
huh….. how does a free float hand guard work then, presumably it just screws into the receiver?
GREAT!! I LOVE COLT!!
What about the handguard on the Carbon 15 Type 97 model (Professional Ordiance and Bushmaster make)? Is it similar?
my delta ring must be tighter than others, because it would literally be impossible to remove them by hand nomatter how much time you spent trying. thank god for this tool lol.
im thinking about buying an m&p 15 if i ever wanted to remove the plastic standard hand guard and put on a rail system, how would i go about securing it to the upper? and i have been looking at larue tactical one if that helps.
Daniel Defense Omega. True free float. 2-piece, easy as replacing the handguards and adjusting out 4 adjustment screws and couple of locking screws.
Were you clamping too tight?
This might work easier on mid and full sized handguards, but my carbine gave me a hard time even with it. It chewed up the delta ring a bit too.
…I've been removing handguards manually from my M4 (and m16A4 before that) ever since I was issued it. Man up and do it the "right" way. 😀
My M4 has the Picatinny rail type guards, too, so they're a real bitch to take off….especially if you keep the screw that holds the upper one in…
This tool is essential for anyone with an AR style rifle.
I like it! I may have to get one of those.
