Sure, just make sure you order the right handed model, or call them and tell them to make sure they give you the right handed model. Most guns are right handed. For some reason, the one you linked said left handed in the description.

I thought something looked odd about that AR. I thought all the lefty versions came with pink lowers?

Got a few goodies today in the mail. Picked up the gas block riser from Yankee Hill, a set of Leupold QRW high rings from Natchezs, and two extra magazines from DPMS. Now if only I could get my rifle back from the shop....

I dont have any pictures but I have a little .22 for plinkin' in the yard, my dads the one packin the artillery. He's got 2 different .38 pistols, a Beretta .45, one of those little Derringers, a Glock .45, a Yugoslavian SKS, an AK47, and a Shotgun that I dont know the specs of. We've all got our obsessions I guess lol.

Is the riser the one I pointed out a while ago?

Indeed it is. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction on that!

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-03-2010, 10:55 AM

No problem

I was torn between goin the route with a riser and the standard sight or the gas block height front sight. I decided on the midwest industries

Please let me know how yours works out.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-14-2010, 12:15 PM

Just a quick question. I want to replace the front hand guard on my AR and replace it with one with rails. Do I need the special tool to take it off or does it just unscrew? Sorry If its a noob question

It is best to have 2 people do it. You have to just push down on the ring, really, really hard.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-14-2010, 07:29 PM

I dont think I have a ring. Its more of the aluminum tube and its attached to a round gray thing. I'll take a pic in a bit

You dont need this tool, but it makes it simpler.

I have that tool in my kit. Makes things MUCH easier

Especially when installing 2 piece metal handguards.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-15-2010, 12:13 AM

This is what I have to work with

I think I need one of those wrenches with the 3 prongs to take it off

theonlybear4CORT · 01-15-2010, 12:34 AM

what about a strap wrench?

JE3146 · 01-15-2010, 12:34 AM

A rubber strap wrench might work as well

EDIT:: got beat to it

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-15-2010, 12:37 AM

hmmmm that is a good idea. Would I need to put it in a vice? And would the fore end unscrew from the gray piece? Sorry for all the dumb questions I just dont wanna mess up a brand new rifle

theonlybear4CORT · 01-15-2010, 12:41 AM

here are the install instructions from YHM (yankee hill machine).

http://www.yhm.net/store/media/Free_...Handguards.pdf

http://www.yhm.net/installationinstructions.php

looks like you're going to need to remove the gas block and the gas tube also, in order to remove the locking nut.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-18-2010, 10:57 PM

Im lookin to buy a whole A2 upper in 5.56/.223. I would like a 16" barrel and I found this...for a pretty cheap price and idk if it would be as good as a RRA, DPMS, Bushmaster, S&W, whoever. I want to spend around $500. Anyone have suggestions?
