Wood or plastic? Upper (that covers the gas tube) or lower or both upper and lower? It may be time to consider a rail?

Just get a KVar handguard set. It's the only one I know of that fits the groove in the Ultimak tube well.

Lower and plastic

Kvar gotcha

Kvar will look nice. The rails they offer are cool but a little pricey

Ive used a wood lower handguard as well as a trimmed TAPCO galil. Both work well. I prefer the galil because you can trim it in a way that prevents your hand from being burnt.

That looks great I guess I'll order one tonight

I use kvar with a Dinzag lower retainer..

Dizag retainer on back order. I thought that's what u said Vlad last time we spoke but I forgot. Fits well no modification?

fits really nice... no issues.. you MIGHT have to make SMALL indent in barrel...

 

mock it up..

there is a hex screw...

lighten it up a little.

make sure its snug... it will mark the barrel...

take it all off and use a drill to make a TINY indent.. you are not drilling into the barrel.. more just making something for the hex screw to catch onto..

Did u have to remove the gas tube to install?? Trying to figure out if I should bother zeroing in my fastfire now or when I'm all done

don't bother it will only be in the way later..

Gotcha. Vlad did ur tube not sit secure on the piston until it was tightened with the brackets. I got a mb2.. it's vented version of the mb1.. but it's the same length like a quarter inch shorter so there is no real retention and a space dirt can get into
