JJ109 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hey guys, Swapping out handguard on my LR308 build. I dont have a barrel vise. Any advise on doing this so I dont mess anything up?? The current handguard that came with the complete upper is a tank!!!! Bought a Guntec 12" flat dark earth handguard a while back,new gas tube and SLR adjustable gas block. The Guntec handguard supposed to weigh 11.7 oz which if it actually does im sure its much lighter then my current one. Here some pics.

edgecrusher Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 You really do need to use a vise and a torque wrench. Last thing you want is it coming loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth the wait Edited January 22, 2017 by JJ109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth the wait I've had good results with this set for both 308AR and AR-15, they have barrel vise blocks as well, they sell full sets on ebay. https://www.plastixrevolution.net/collections/ar15-vise-blocks/products/223-ar-15-308-ar-10-upper-receiver-vise-block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
