    We'd punch the band in only if the handguard slipped forwards during the test shoot after repair. If it stayed put, then all was well! Some handguards were machined from a solid bar of railway track (...just joking) and so thick that you couldn't punch it in, even if the h/g was loose. So you'd swop it for a thinner metal one and be done with it
