Okee dokee. There appear to be two methods to remove the handguard:
1. Remove gas cylinder assembly, ferrule, and front guard, then drift the pin from the lower band and remove band by "walking" it up the barrel. Then slide off the guard.

...or

2. Carefully un-clip the spring band on the rear guard, tip up from the rear, and remove, a-la the CMPicon site and "Charles."

Which is the G.I. way?
Which is your favorite way?

Thanks!
