security tab
Quote: The circled area, when disassembled, shows a screw (The yellow box on the LEFT). This screw can be a pain in the ass because tightening it will crack the plastic security plate. Be careful when tightening this as too not overtighten it. Make sure this is tightened properly, as if the screw isn’t tightened all the way, your handguards will not be able to get into place. Do NOT try to jam the handguards down. Go back to that screw, and tighten it just a bit more. Try again with your handguards. If they still do not fit, retighten. Rinse and repeat until you can get your handguards in. Once you get them in, I’d advise you tight it by ¼ of a way if possible to ensure it’s in place. If it’s already very tight, do not tighten it any more.
FYI: What I did was gorilla glue the broken piece, then I used a very small washer (r/c car kind of small washer). as I carefully and repeatedly pressed the lower guard in place and carefully taking down the imprinted areas with a Dremel. It's now a lot more secure and the lower guard fits it place.
