Armalite Handguard retaining ring

[AngelDeVille]

I'm considering taking the cheesegrater off my AR-10.

 

Who makes Delta Ring kits for AR-10's, with an Armalite nut?

Ideally I want a triangular handguard.  Is it possible?

Call Armalite and get one directly from them. 

As forthe triangle handguard, you’re going to have to measure the distance of the gas block. I seem to remember that the AR10 rifle length was a bit longer than the DPMS model. If that’s the case, you’ll have to find a handguard that length, or come up with some kind of spacer. 

The spacer idea wouldn’t look right with the triangle HG, but you might be able to disguise it with a Magpul MOE-SL HG????

I thought PRI May have one for you but it looks like they only offer their triangle guards for the AR15. Sucks, that would’ve been a sick add!!!!

Armalite is out of stock on the Delta ring.

 

I'm pulling it apart in the next week or two so I can measure the distance.

I have a couple triangle end caps. as long as the distance is the same the handguard may work, but since the Delta ring is built into the barrel nut, that's the clincher.

I believe the Armalite AR-10 gas system is .25" longer than the DPMS LR-308 (which, IIRC, is mil-spec AR-15). The only way to make it work is to lengthen the handguard or fab a spacer.

Unless you want to re-barrel to a mid-gas, run a low profile gas block under your triangular handguard, and setup a faux gas block at AR-15 rifle length. But that's a lot of work just for "the look."

I can't remember who made my barrel, but I'm certain it's not Armalite, so I may be in luck.

I don't recall needing a special length gas tube.

 

All the AR's I actually like shooting have A1 furniture.
