Nice but some issues if you have triangular end cap
I think this is a great looking well-built handguard and I really like the looks of it on my carbine. I will say I have a triangular end cap and since the description didn't mention anything about it not working with triangular end cap, I took the risk to purchase anyway without asking. Well, it does work with a triangular end cap, but with some issues (at least on mine).
1. Once assembled, it isn't completely level with the rail on your receiver, and is raised about 1/16th high on the barrel end. Is this a problem? Maybe not but it is noticeable.
2. It isn't rock-solid tight. I think this is due to two things; one, there is no lip where the item slips into the Delta ring, so there is some play there; and two, most end caps don't end up being completely tight once iron sight is mounted, so since the front of the item rely's on clamping down on the end cap, there could be wiggle if the end cap is a tiny bit loose. With these two issues combined there is about 1/16th to 1/8th inch of "slide" front and back. I actually can imagine these wiggle issues being the same if you have round end cap. I don't think the diameter of end cap holes have a tight enough tolerance to the diameter of the barrel so there is likely wiggle no matter what.
3. I did notice that it isn't exactly straight right to left, and I haven't figured out why yet.
I like the looks and feel of the item so much that I am going to attempt to make some modifications that I think will solve these problems. I'm not a perfectionist, and I like tinkering with things. Having said that, it would be nice if there was the same item available specifically for triangular end caps.
