With a little filing... - Vism BlastAR Handguard Carbine Extended

Was having problems finding a nice handguard for my Ruger AR556 build. Decided to take a chance on this Vism BlastAR handguard in the 14 inch length, after Tech Support with OpticsPlanet told me that this one would fit. The FAB Defense extended length Quad Rail handguard would not fit my rifle due to its bayonet mount under the front sight. I was really disappointed when this VISM BlastAR handguard came in, as it did not just "drop in". After closely inspecting where the tolerances were off, I discovered that the main problem was with the upper half of the guard clearing the end cap near the front sight. I was able to slightly remove a small piece of my rifle end cap to barely get the VISM BlastAR to fit. Since I was able to get this item to fit, I gave it 3 stars. Now that it is mounted, it works great and looks equally good.
