Yeah that's pretty much the same clearance on the sides as the factory handguard: not much. Looks like there's good clearance at the top, though!
few passes with a sharp file would do that just fine.
They're solid sights and are comparable to the Burris fixed-power prisms. I've shot with it out to 300m on a different rifle and found the BDC in the reticle to be useful. It ended up on the WK because I replaced it with an Elcan, but I think it's suitable for this rifle and will remain there.
Everything is in now. Looking into a brake, thinking SBI HexBrake. Maybe a hand stop too. my arms reach the end of the rail very easily.
I think Im gonna do that. I prefer the charging handle on that side. The grip tape thing works for keeping it on that side.

Finally got mine all rigged up!
Hiper fire edt dm trigger
Tna 15" handgaurd
Tna suppressor muzzle break
Nikon 1-4 m tactical
Shot it the first time the other day and other than a few FTF with the hera mags in their first run I didn't have any issues! Severely satisfied!
How difficult was the hand guard to install?
The handgaurd wasn't that bad. I took the advice other people said about heating the screws up before trying to remove them. They were tight but they did not have any loctite on them like the first few rifles apparently did. I re used the factory barrel nut, which was pretty tight underthe hand gaurd so hopefully that doesn't cause any issues (I don't see how it would). I found that the flash hider was much more of a pain to get off. I ended up having to put a pipe wrench on the flash hider which marked it up a bit but it did come off.
