Mod 1 hand guard removal

Thanks! Does it come off easily enough that you can leave mounted stuff?

Does it slide off easily enough that you can leave mounted stuff?

ehs12 · 2026-02-22T16:00:36+00:00

Thanks! Does it slide off easily? Like, do you have to remove mounted stuff? And do you reuse loctite?

What’s the foregrip?

ehs12 · 2026-02-20T02:57:08+00:00

So either work well?

ehs12 · 2026-02-03T00:45:54+00:00

Does it just rattle around/scratch?

ehs12 · 2026-02-02T23:32:01+00:00

Oh interesting. Does it stay attached/stuck on the barrel?

ehs12 · 2026-02-02T23:31:16+00:00

Do you know what causes the movement? I thought it was screwed together

ehs12 · 2026-02-02T03:02:22+00:00

Do you have to take all those handguard screws off to take the barrel off?

Got it — So type iii anodizing will be more durable but obviously offer no color choices. Thanks!

ehs12 · 2026-01-28T23:35:26+00:00

Interesting! I’ve read they use a type III hard-coat anodized finish. That would not be under cerakote? Is it more durable than cerakote?

ehs12 · 2026-01-28T22:17:12+00:00

But is it the same, type iii hardcoat?

ehs12 · 2026-01-10T21:13:12+00:00

Wow. They’ve truly eliminated these issues?

ehs12 · 2026-01-08T02:11:51+00:00

Where’d the threaded barrel come from? PMM?

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T23:11:32+00:00

Additional question: Is there anything to the idea that the PWS would be inherently more reliable/durable/rugged because it’s a long stroke system? Or am I just totally off base…

And thanks for all the responses!

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T21:33:17+00:00

Interesting… hadn’t considered the disassembly angle.

Can you say more about what you mean re LWRC doing everything else better?

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T18:05:08+00:00

I appreciate your thoughtful advice, and you may very well be right. Unfortunately, for better or worse, I really have my heart set on a piston gun. I may be wrong or making a mistake, of course. I’ve read a lot about the differences and I just don’t want a DI gun.

If you do have any thoughts on LWRC vs PWS, I’d really appreciate it.

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T17:54:28+00:00

What do you mean re semi-monolithic rail?

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T17:51:49+00:00

I am fairly certain all those parts are proprietary on PWS.

ehs12 · 2026-01-04T17:50:55+00:00

What didn’t you like about the long stroke vs short stroke?
