FAL handguard retaining ring?

Postby Waldo1 » Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:20 pm

Not to turn this into the BST forum, but does anyone have or know where I can get a rear-retaining ring for an FAL handguard set? I want to modify it to try something stupid.

Thanks,

Waldo1

I am putting Izzy handguards on a Saiga 12. Why must you be such an angry and bitter, ginger-haired young man?!? [smilie=011.gif]

actually if you dura-coated the top cover and receiver to match that light gray on the heat shield in front of the HG it would look bad ass, oh, and go back to a wood stock that matched the HG
In the days of the old west a 6 shooter was as common as cell phones are today and just annoying if they go off in a theater.

There are at least 3 types of handguard retaining rings, Metric, Inch and Heavy Barrel.

If those are Heavy Barrel handguards you will need the larger HB ring.

Try "Gunthings.com"
