Not much else I can do. I agree with you though, the lockup is solid and I also don't plan to use those rail slots in front of the receiver so I'll just leave it alone. The entire design is just really strange; I have put together 6 other ARs all using different hand guards and none of them have had this issue.Quandranglemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096749930944658975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195077991229481958.post-56432977965344195592018-11-06T19:06:55.714-07:002018-11-06T19:06:55.714-07:00No, I haven't done anything with the gap.

Since I wasn't planning on mounting anything across the gap, I just decided not to worry about it. I tightened my barrel nut to near the low end of acceptable torque. Maybe I could have tightened it down farther and had less of a gap?Docenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573255956484552163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195077991229481958.post-79986331764790199892018-11-05T20:42:36.138-07:002018-11-05T20:42:36.138-07:00Did you ever have any luck fixing the gap on your ...Did you ever have any luck fixing the gap on your S-one hand guard? I just finished putting one together and it has the same gap. I know I could just leave well enough alone but it's driving me crazy. The locking bolts slide in-between channels on the barrel nut, which is aligned with the gas tube and torqued down. If the barrel nut isn't close enough to the receiver it seems there is no way for the hand guard to stay flush once you start tightening down those nuts.Quandranglemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096749930944658975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195077991229481958.post-50815727641764457922018-09-09T00:49:30.015-06:002018-09-09T00:49:30.015-06:00From right to left, the first is a standard .223 R...From right to left, the first is a standard .223 Remington for a size comparison. Next is the 300 Blackout, then a .338 Whisper round that launches a 300 grain rock downrange at 1050 FPS. I also load these with a 200 grain bullet and raise the charge to send it downrange at about 2200 FPS. Next is .458 SOCOM. These are loaded from subsonic 500 grain rock throwers to over 2000 FPS ballistic tipped 325 grain bullets. These have become quite popular with hog hunters and they run on the AR15 platform with little more than a barrel change.<br /><br />Next is one of the .510 Whispers with a 50 cal BMG API rock stuffed in. 28 grains of H110 powder sends it along its subsonic journey into a hard target. A nice report and big smiles from the shooter erupts.<br /><br />Last is another 510 with a Lehigh Defense, controlled fracture, payload bullet. These machined brass projectiles have slots cut in for the petals to expand. Also in the nose is a .243 cal ballistic tipped bullet to shift the CG forward to improve flight characteristics.<br /><br />I'm glad that you appreciated them. I enjoy sorting this stuff out and its nice when someone appreciates it.<br /><br /><br>_________________________________<br /><a href="https://www.huntingbootspro.com/300-blackout-for-hunting/" rel="nofollow">300 Blackout for hunting elk</a>Marcel D Behlarhttps://www.huntingbootspro.comnoreply@blogger.com
