Q
Wiglaf, member, from OK, United States, asked on October 26, 2022

I bought this handguard without realizing it was the drop in delta ring style. What do I need to purchase to be able to use this with my AR?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 31, 2022

You would need to purchase a Delta Ring Assembly as well as a handguard cap. Both can be found by using the links below.

Ben, member, from WI, United States, asked on February 21, 2021

If mounting an optic, is the rail on top sturdy/stable enough to allow it to hold zero?

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on April 22, 2021

It is not advised to mount optics to a handguard. This is also a 2-piece handguard, so I would not recommend putting an optic on it.

Q
Tambo, member, from CA, United States, asked on January 15, 2021

The m-lock system opening on this is narrower than the standard m-lock. I bought a Magpul bipod MAG933-BLK but it doesn’t fit. Any suggestions? Thx!

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on April 22, 2021

This is not M-Lok compatible. You would need the AB Arms Picatinny Rail Kit, and then use a picatinny mounted bipod.
