  1. Mines got alot of play back and forth on my ar10. Its torqued down, screws are in, but it still wiggles left to right bout 1/4in. I'm stumped. It looks great and is really light, but the height of the rail doesn't line up with my aero upper. Maybe I did it wrong, but I don't believe I did. Thinking of replacing with an aero handguard.

  2. Would the odin works M-Lok forend 9.5" work with a spartan 9MM non-reciprocating side charge billet upper receiver w/ LRBHO? As for the barrel i'm going with the odin works 7.5" AR15 – 9MM barrel.

  3. This system sucks. There was a tiny bit of slop in the way the pin fit into the gas tube hole on the upper, and that made it so the handguard wouldn’t time properly. Had to overtighten the barrel nut, and then back it off a little bit to get it to time right. Now I’m not certain that the barrel nut is torqued to the proper spec.

    Shitty.

  4. Is torque pounds the same for your 9mm barrel? I am REALLY hoping your O2 Lite forend fits on a Spikes 9mm upper. I want to show off my Odin stainless steel barrel. The spikes upper has a raised point in front of the ejection port door that keeps some forends from fitting.

  5. I'm 15 minutes away from installing this my only concern is the barrel nut timing my ragna barrel nut has 4 flats that the screws are suppose to line up with, when you just hand tightened your barrel nut for the video the timing was way off, to give proper hand guard screw placement do you have any tips to make sure the barrel nut flats line up with the hand guard screws or does it matter if half the screws are on the flats and half are on the round portion of the barrel nut and will this cause the screws (after being tightened) to have half to stick out of the hand guard and half flush? thanks P.S. I will follow up on this question when I start and finish the install in an hour

  6. Do you know if this forend will work with the superlative arms piston conversion? I love the look of this forend but DI is a no go for me and I'm not sure if their gas block will be low profile enough

  7. I tried one of these last year on a .308 MEGA billet upper. I could not get the fore-end to time correctly. I contacted Odinworks for help, and never heard a word back from them. Fortunately the dealer (Primary Arms) let me return it.
