It's the one you suggested from Primary Arms.... And, yes, I got it "on sale."

Ok so the barrel nut/delta ring and the front sight base I linked above is what you will need for that particular handguard. You will also need a “mid-length” gas tube.

PS: make sure the front sight base you choose is for a .750” gas block.

So are you after this look? Ignore the colored furniture.

Yes, but without the iron sights. I'm a scope guy.

Ok... let me think and research a bit. I have an idea.

You will need one of these as well..



These items along with the delta ring barrel nut and you will be able to run the Magpul hand guard.

The above has been ordered. I hope I get it. Inventory was showing only one in stock. We'll see.









These were there also but for $30.00 extra. If the above doesn't work out, I'll have to go with this one.

Do I order these on Optics Planet as well? Or where Can I order them?





And these as well?

Will pick up my lowers tomorrow and the barrel and other parts are also due to arrive as well.

Update: The gas block arrived today.



Good news - It fits well over the barrel. And having measured it, I will definitely need the mid-length HG.


Bad - News - The shipment arrived with missing parts (allen key and the two set screws were missing). And, apparently, Optics Planet is not taking phone calls right now. Customer returns are also delayed.

Better news - After speaking with both Optics Planet and the manufacturer GunTech, Both have indicated they are willing to supply the missing allen key and set screws. Could be a week to receive them.


So, again, we'll see what happens.
