Unexpected issues - Midwest Industries Extended Universal AK47/74 Handguard With Standard Topcover

While a very nice upper and lower handguard, there is something that should have been disclosed. My particular AK has a two piece (stage) barrel. This means your handguard will end up cockeyed. Mine was about 3/32” lower towards the receiver. Does not seem like much but looked bad when assembled. Luckily I did not use lock tight without making sure first that it looked okay. I ended up welding a piece to level off. A finished end that backs up at the receiver would have made things easier. Looks great now and although it deserves 4 or 5 stars otherwise, this should have been disclosed by the manufacturer.
