How does one order the skookum brass deflector?Waiting for a few more parts to come in but just couldn't resist to snap a pic. Really liking this gun so far.
Phase 2 complete. Found a rail that works through Aliexpress of all places for a tan 17inch. UBR was a B*tch to hunt down but over all I am really digging the look. Now I just need to find a comp I like and better trigger.
Oh my..... I think I've fallen in love.
Absolute beauty right there.

^^^^^ that, I'm doing that. Not sure if I'm going 15 or 17 inch hand gaurd. But I'm going fde now. That rifle looks awesome. I was thinking Moe carbine stock. I'll get some photos up once the parts are back in stock and the rifle shows up.

How did you find the fit on the hand gaurd?
Flawless fit. The rails at the top of the receiver lined up perfectly without any difference to the rail. My only gripe after taking off the stock rail is that I discovered it was rubbing on the upper receiver all along and left some wear marks on both the left and right side. And now the aftermarket rail doesn't overlap the side of the receiver it shows the wear marks clearly.

Is there more clearance around the gas block than the stock handguard has?

Can you provide a link to where you got the hand guard?

This looks similar, if not identical.

Have you got a LOP on that setup? Just wondering if it's comparable to A2 rifle length with the MOE stock on it.
Yes. The inside of the top rail is squared instead of radius.

This is the exact seller I bought from. I will wait till Canadapost starts taking in international shipments though. Right now sellers abroad will only use fedex and DHL which is outrageously priced. Mine was shipped for $5
For anyone thinking of getting this handguard in any length. Word of advise. Do not try to hammer out the barrel nut from the rail. Just take off your gas block. slip the handguard on with the barrel nut still inside, thread on the whole assembly to the upper and then once you have threaded on the barrel nut more than half way. Pull away the handguard, then attach your gas block before slipping the handguard back on to tighten the bolts to secure it. The barrel nut will be damaged if you try to hammer it out without it mounted.

Why not just loosen the handguard rail screws ? There's also a set screw that you need to back out first before you can loosen the other three screws.
Seems like a weird way to install an AR15 handguard.
It is weird. I was scratching my head too. When I loosened the three screws there was still quite a bit of pressure clamping the barrel nut in there. It was the best way I found to get the barrel nut out without prying the back end of the handguard and risk chipping the paint on it.
I am sure if you have a metal pipe of sorts that is the same diameter as the barrel nut you can stick it in from the front end and hammer it out, after removing the screws.
