    03 / 03A3 Handguard clips

    Does the rear clip normally come in contact with the top of the barrel? Front clip not a problem as it is inletted.Have several sets ,slight variations in size all seem to give same results.Any advice always appreciated.

    Handguard clips don't normally contact the barrel. On occasion, I have observed clip contact with the barrel. But, those are the exception, not the rule.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you sir, my main concern I guess would be any adverse effects once barrel heats.
