AR15 Handguard Advice - 12/30/22 10:21 AM
Hi VAGT! -- AR15 noob here -- question reguarding Handguards:
I bought a crappy AR15 a while back prior to covid and have used it lightly. I recently added a new gas block to the firearm. To do so, you have to remove the handguard and then reinstall it once complete. Upon doing so, I've noticed I cannot get the handguard tight over the barrel nut. After removing the screws, it looks as if there is nothing at the head of the screw to keep it going all the way through the hole, meaning that the lips will not pinch together to tighten the handguard. Any advice with this or different screws I can try?
The photos will be in the comment below!!
