Stag 10 slim line handguard fit ?

[Unamed_]

I have a Aero M5 upper and lower. Purchased a BA 20" premium bull and Aero .936 low profile gas block. I found a Stag handguard I like but have concerns if the slim line will fit over the bull/block? For some reason I can't find the dimensions of either part ?? I have emailed both companies recently.

Aero has a Atlas S one that is very nice but you need a lot profile gas block.

Sometimes you have to just roll the dice. I know exactly where you are at, hell I've had the supposed dimensions and still had a clearance issue. Take into account I have a drawer full of parts that didn't work out but the Aero low profile blocks are some of the slimmest I have seen. I have one bull barrel myself, I will try and get some details from it later.

Stag support replied-

"That handguard is fairly generous on the I.D. so it should fit no problem. We sell rifles with bull barrels with that size gas block"

No actual dimensions but this is reassuring. I ordered the handguard.

I did look at Aero first but prefer the look of the Stag, also wanted a bit longer.

My "spare" parts seem to turn into complete firearms...

Will post up a pic when complete.

Many of us have the same problem.  Some eveven build rifles when they are given a dust cover.

You just put it on an existing rifle.  @JBMatt has a right to be pissed though.

I didn't have the .260 Rem built, in the Fall of 2018.  But I did shortly after that.

Thanks a lot @Armed Eye Doc  That ended up being a $2k dust cover...  🤦‍♂️

And of course it couldn't be something normal.  It had to run with @98Z5V's 260.

I don't think we've ever done a heads up between your 260 and my 6.5.  I think we should arrange that.
