Just me, but I am not a believer in shimming anything to make it fit. It just ain’t natural on a carbine.😁

okay I think I got it. I had none of the materials you listed, but have electrical tape and a razor blade, so I buy tiny strips and put on end of the metal rivet. Looks like it will hold and my band and spring are butting up against each other. Will shoot 100+ rounds tomorrow and see how she does. Gotta shoot my new QH also. But just testing it out. Thanks a lot Floyd. I am still wanting to find a longer handguard though. I don’t like Jerry rigging stuff haha

YES ME EITHER. I’m anal about my stuff. I want it done right. But I really do not want to change out my barrel band. I have 0 problems with accuracy with it, and it looks awesome. I NEED a longer handguard. If you have one long I’ll pay you more than what it is worth. It’s like an addiction, once it’s in my mind I can’t get over it.

I have one I can send you to try, but it’s not one you’d prolly like to have on there. I would surely take that band spring out of the one that fits over to the one that don’t. They appear to be of the two different types and if it works, you can pretty easily find one of that type. I never had any luck in finding one longer or shorter enough to make enough difference, but Smokepole indicates he has. If you can get enough to prevent the guard from popping out, it can be tightened if it’s only slightly lose. All you have to do is slide the band up and take a small punch and tap the band out from the small hole in the left side. I would just have to try that.

I have a handguard that came with some stocks I got from JLG, it is longer than any handguard I have ever seen, maybe foreign wood. Very long lip up-front, it may work for you, may even need sanded down a bit to fit. You can have it if you want to try it.

Jump on Wayne’s offer with both feet Rebel! I find Universal and Iver Johnson guards to be a tad longer and have one on a USGI carbine now. Wayne has one he knows to be long……can’t beat that.

PM sent, it will cost you the price of shipping. I meant to say J&G not "JLG" I must have been thinking about my Heavy Equipment days when I was typing.

WAYNE Hooked me up. Not only does it match, but my barrel band now comes into to contact with the band retaining spring. Thank you, sir. Handguard no longer moves, even with the band screw un- tightened
