I should have taken pics but I had grease and oils etc on my hands and didn't want to handle my phone. There are 4 nice deep gouges about 1.5" long on the inside walls of my handguard. I don't think it's a big issue right now and hopefully it hasn't weakened the integrity of it. I took an 8oz ball peen hammer and lightly tapped it flat before reinstalling the handguard. Next time I disassemble that AR, I'll definitely pick up that Ti one from CTCS.
For the person who will install and leave it as is, this is a non-issue.
I have also had this happen but as per the installation instructions I filed any protruding material down so it didn't damage the handguard.
