    03A3 Handguard Clip Fit

    Can anybody give me some tips/tricks to getting the handguard clips to fit snug? Mine have a 1/16th inch of daylight between them and the wood. I can press them flush, but they spring right back and touch the barrel. The guard seems properly inletted and it is USGI wood and metal. Thanks in advance.
