I bought a $15 Wheeler AR 15 handguard removal tool (Delta Ring Tool) to help me install a Midwest Industries 2-Piece Quad Rail on my plain jane PSA carbine. Here’s how easy it was to do with the tool.

The best price I could find on this handguard was on Big Daddy Unlimited:

Bought the tool from Amazon for $19 and in kess than 5 minutes put my Midwest Industries 2 piece on too. Saved me $30 – local dealer wanted $50,,, so now I have "friends" borrowing it <lol>
🙏💪🇺🇸💪🙏
Bought one and tried it. Arms bent with very little force. Must have been a defect?????
'preciate the tutorial. It was a mess and a half to get the guards off with my hands.
I just use the handles of a largish pair of channel locks.
I've never had any trouble with Delta rings…. however, the retro A1 flat slip rings are insanely tight. I just received a retro "commando" upper yesterday, I have probably tried 10x to pop these little 6 hole handguards off.
I'm going to be disappointed if I have to buy a crazy specific tool just for that.
What to do if the factory handguard is one piece?
I was hoping this would be to remove the barrel nut, not just to pull the delta ring back. Pulling the delta ring back is easy for people that don't have weeny arms.
@SOP, I thought the Midwest Industries rail called for the total removal of the delta ring? Did I read this wrong? Thanks in advance
I don't need that stinking tool, waste of money.
My god if I had this tool right now. I keep staring at this mallet but I know better 😒
You can also do this with the long handles of a pair of channel locks. Works the same.
Just advance to 2:00. Everything before that is a waste of time.
Just bought my 1st AR and want to change the hand guard and fixed front sight at the same time. Where can I get the clamp-on/removable gun cradles you use on your video to work on your AR??
I just found a AIM sports delta tool at the flea market new for $2 brand new in box.
The delta ring tool is a MUST. Thanks for the video!
EDIT: I wish we had these in the military, it would've made life so much easier lol.
Great info for me! Thanks.
Just picked mine up today to use on my a4 build easy peasy!
I don't have an AR but this sure as hell looks like something that would ease some serious frustrations!!
Got one just like it and they are slick. Worth the money!
Good video and thanks for sharing.
You need the right tool for the right job. Otherwise you can try all day and still struggle.
We asses cant pull pack a delta ring these days?
Thanks. Did not know how easy it could be to change the handguard.
Brian . . . . . a couple of questions: Does your modification allow for the Olight Warrior weapon light to be attached to one of the rails? Other than Big Daddy, who else sells it? Love you vids and channel!!
Wish I had one of those for my M16 back in my Army days.. lol
Nice rifle Bryan. We’ve really refined the old lead chuckers since the days of Daniel Boone and his Tick Licker.
I like a minimalist AR. Those split rail forends are great. Too many folks buy an AR and try to hang the kitchen sink off of it. This is really for the tacticool crowd . True operators and instructors think it is stupid. Great video.
Awesome change, the gun seems another completely different … 🤓
It would’ve been real nice to have that tool back when I was in the infantry!
I am just going to say great presentation!
Now that is handy! 👍👍
Very cool! So easy to upgrade your AR. ~~Susan
