What are the 2 tabs for on the mating surface to the upper receiver? I have a Davidson Defense side charging upper that the tabs don’t work?

I used a Dremel to remove the tabs. Really like this light weight handguard. Don't go more than 35 ft lbs barrel nut torque.

what are the small holes on the sides for? Expert Answer

The TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnite Ultra Function Lightweight M-LOK Handguard features M-LOK mounting compatibility that allows you to mount M-LOK accessories to the rail. It also features smaller cuts for heat dissipation and weight reduction. It also has QD mounting capability via the open QD hole on the side of the handguard, allowing you to install a sling.

Everything but the qd mount that is made in the handguard is good. Doesnt have any wiggle, lines up well with aero upper, barrel but has no play, and is pretty light. The only dissapointing thing is the qd mount. It is significantly smaller than stan...

Product Info for TRYBE Defense AR-15 Magnesium Alloy Ultra Function Lightweight M-LOK Handguard w/ Cut Top Rail

TRYBE Defense is excited to announce the next evolution of handguard technology with the introduction of the Magnesium Alloy Series of handguards. Magnesium Alloy is a magnesium alloy that is just as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum but weighs 30% less. So, if you're looking to lighten up your existing build or make that ultra-light build a reality, then the TRYBE Defense Magnesium Alloy handguards are the only way to go.image

The Ultra Functional model is exactly what it sounds like: a handguard built from the ground up with the operator in mind. With M-LOK slots on all 45- and 90-degree surfaces, there is a ton of room for all the accessories you can handle.

Don't believe how incredibly light Magnesium Alloy is? The weight specifications below detail the total combined weight of the TRYBE Magnesium Alloy handguard, barrel nut, and mounting hardware:

  • TRYBE Ultra Function Lightweight Cut Rail 7" Weight: 4.70 oz
  • TRYBE Ultra Function Lightweight Cut Rail 9" Weight: 5.24 oz
  • TRYBE Ultra Function Lightweight Cut Rail 12" Weight: 6.70 oz
  • TRYBE Ultra Function Lightweight Cut Rail 15" Weight: 7.85 oz

Installation Instructions

Handguard Installation instructions

In order to install your new handguard, you will need the following tools:

  • 30mm Wrench
  • 5/32" Hex Screwdriver
  • Thread Locker (optional)

Once you have installed your barrel in your upper receiver, thread the barrel nut onto the upper and tighten down to 35-40 foot pounds.

After you have installed your gas block and tube assembly, slide the handguard over the barrel nut. You may apply Loctite to the exterior of the barrel nut across the knurled surface for added grip. You will need to apply some force to the rail when going over the barrel nut as the knurling is designed to mar the interior surface of the rail, adding additional grip.

Align the rail with your receiver and put the mounting screws in the drilled holes from the left side of the upper receiver and proceed to tighten them down to 3 foot-pounds (36 inch-pounds). Do not torque screws more than 3 foot-pounds. Exceeding this force may strip the threads.
