- Tighten lightly only at this stage
IMPORTANT:
- Do not cross-thread
- If resistance is felt, stop and realign
Step 8 – Install Set Screws
Install the four set screws into the sides of the handguard.
Recommended:
- Apply Blue or Purple Loctite before installation
IMPORTANT:
- Set screws only need to contact the barrel lightly
- Do NOT over torque
Purpose of set screws:
- Prevent movement
- Keep the handguard centered and aligned
Step 9 – Center the Handguard
Visually inspect the gap between the barrel and handguard.
Adjust until:
- Both sides appear even
- Handguard sits parallel to the barrel
Once aligned:
- Snug the set screws evenly
Step 10 – Tighten Hardware
Final tighten:
- Magazine tube screw
- Pan head screws
- Rear tensioning screws
