Does anyone have any pics of the WK with a 17 inch black handguard? I am looking at the TNA one. Anyone know anything about them? I'm wondering if I should wait until the 15 inch ones are back in stock.
Here's the 15in on mine, looks much better than stock IMO

Maybe a little bit? I didn't weigh the TNA rail or the stock, but the TNA rail definitely feels lighter as it doesn't seem as beefy as the factory one.id say thats a good length, do you know if theres any weight saving from stock?
did everyone have to change out the barrel nut to get those handguards on? i'm having a hell of a time trying get the flash hider off.

Yea, you will need something like Geissele's reaction rod to mount the receiver in a vice. Even the screws on the handguard were tough. Had to be torched to get them off.
i tired my hand at the handguard screws. one of them just wouldn't move and i rounded out the hex in it... not having a torch handy i ended up drilling into it with a 3mm bit and then i hammered a square head bit into the hole and put a socket and ratchet on it then it came off. but that screw and the square head bit is permanently fused together now. lol.
The geometry of the upper receiver looks simple enough, i think i'm going to design and 3d print a vice jig to hold my upper in the vice and try it that way. being the cheap guy that i am a $99 tool that i'll use a couple times is not so attractive. but thanks for the info.
Watch the port on the gas block when you shoot it with the 15. I'm assuming with the TNA 15"? My left hand got blasted by the gas coming out of the piston system since the TNA rail had more cut outs on it than the factory rail.

Ive got the type 2s but my hands still get blasted because the covers don't actually cover the port.
