Has anyone installed the Firearms Unknown handguard?
Link to product
I'm scratching my head how this is supposed to attach. I actually have three RPRs (for pd shooting) and have installed the MI & Spikes Tactical handguards no problems. Every person I talked to at the company has been clueless.
This one has a threaded insert installed in the handguard. It threads on the barrel nut, but it leaves a big gap, and doesn't tighten down enough to prevent movement. It almost seems like there should be a secondary nut that would connect handguard to barrrel nut, but apparently there is not. I tried with both the stock ruger barrel nut, and the PVA since I have both. The PVA leaves an even larger gap. I'm replacing the factory Gen 2 Samson handguard
What am I missing here? 2 pics:
1) Rifle with ruger barrel nut installed + handguard pre installation.
2) Rifle with handguard installed showing gap. This was as far as it would thread down.
