Someone sticky this thread please.

Note regarding real steel rail assemblies; I purchased a Midwest Industries two-piece "drop in" railed handguard (MCTAR17). It does NOT fit.

By all accounts it should fit, but it seems to be about 5mm too long. Viking and I have speculated that the taper on the rear end of the handguards is a little too steep, and it won't fit fully under the delta ring. I'll be bringing it by my gunsmith to see if he can figure it out.

I also have a request in the MI about this. They offer two variants; the MCTAR17 and the MTAR17C. The "C" version is specifically for Colt. I've asked them what the difference is, since they seem to be the only people who have made a distinction between the two as far as rail systems are concerened.
