Cabin Boy 10-31-2007, 07:23 PM Installed a Grip Pod on my daughters AR. The front hand guard is a little loose. It's not a tight fit to begin with. Adding the vertical pod causes it to move just enough to be annoying. Anyone know of a quick, easy fix for this? &ReW 10-31-2007, 07:25 PM JB Weld. Cabin Boy 10-31-2007, 07:57 PM JB Weld. I might wanna take it apart someday. Frankenyota 10-31-2007, 08:50 PM I might wanna take it apart someday. I think he meant to build it up a little. It might take some epoxy or JB weld and some time with a file to get a good tight fit. That or get some better handguards. I have seen some that are loose and crappy and some that are nice and tight, depends on manufacturer really. Redmist 10-31-2007, 08:59 PM Free Float... Frankenyota 11-01-2007, 12:02 AM Free Float... Aluminum tube or four rail type? My YHM four rail is tight as a drum. No free float forend should have that much play in it. aloharover 11-01-2007, 06:43 AM RM was suggesting to use a FF tube I believe. Cabin Boy these are stock type plastic handguards that you painted correct? Clean out the inside of the triangular stamped steel cap with brake clean or acetone. Put a very small amount of JB in the two lower corners and the bottom lip. Now sit and wait. Keep checking until its firm, but not yet hard. Take a little grease and put a very light coat on the end of the lower hand guard. Install the lower hand guard. Or send me the upper with $50 and I will fix it for you. :D Pete Jason R 11-01-2007, 12:20 PM What's a grip pod? Anything mounted to the factory handguards pretty much sucks. aloharover 11-01-2007, 01:09 PM http://www.grippod.com/ :flipoff2: mark_w 11-01-2007, 01:11 PM I'm not cool enough for that. Jason R 11-01-2007, 01:23 PM interesting concept. I would never mount that to the factory AR handguard. :flipoff2: Bill4rest 11-01-2007, 05:58 PM I used to think they looked cheezy, but after looking at one at work and mess'n around with it, if I where to buy a forward grip it would be in the top running. | |
