Great upgrade to a conventional forend - Magpul Industries MOE SL Carbine Length AR-15/M4 M-LOK Handguard

I bought this handguard for my BCA 10.5 556 AR. Stupid as i am i ordered the wrong length first. Despite the fact that i measured the old handguard i ordered the 9 inch model. Luckily to me OP is a fair business partner and accepts returns no questions asked. Once i received the correct length, i attempted the install. I have the spring ring install tool shsped like a U that you hook into the mag well. Even that didn't help in tge beginning. Finally, after 30 minutes and using every swear word i know multiple times, i got it installed. I put the bottom piece in first and then the top part. My gunsmith hammer helped with the final seating into the spring ring. The handguard feel very sturdy and stable. Having Mlok slots makes the difference although some on the top would be great. Overall, i give this item 5".
