The second issue with the manufacturer who makes the stocks and handguards for Auto Ordnance and Inland is their handguards typically overlap the stock towards the front.

Issue #3 has been the cut at the front of the stock at the end of the barrel channel should be somewhat rounded.

re. Stock and handguard 1/4" shorter. Apparently they are still shipping those since mine is a bit shorter too. You can see the barrel band wear mark that used to be covered in my review pics. No matter though it's just for range time.

re. Handguard overlap of stock. Mine has a slight overlap in the rear of the handguard left side. No overlap at front. When the handguard is place over the forestock and positioned they line up fine. Their outside dimensions are fine. The problem is the barrel groove in the handguard. On mine it is a bit off center through the part and therefore the affixed metal tab is off center too. An easy tooling fix for the company if they are reading this.

Only other problems for me were minor fit and finish. At least with the stock set, I give them an 8 out of 10. The quarter inch didn't cost them any points but me having to smooth the buttplate edge and sand the handguard lip cost them 2.

Now that I have read this whole thread I can only offer good luck to the company. I hope they get it together soon.
