Re: AK handguard retainer
This should work yes, just locktite the hell out of that nut.
LawDel, do you just need the pin part?
Think my near new one is lying in a box somewhere. The plate is in 2 or 3 pieces though from when I cut it off.There are no stupid questions ........ just stupid people

Re: AK handguard retainer
Thanks Quicksilver, but I need the entire assembly. I also eventually cut the entire retainer off.

Re: AK handguard retainer
When I tracked mine down in a Magpul box, I see that the pin is press riveted into the retainer body anyway.

Re: AK handguard retainer
A little update:
So imported a Handguard retainer:
Gave it to a "gunsmith" that said he'd get it on without removing the gas block. R600 later, this is how I got it back from him. Disgusting.
I cleaned up the retainer, removed the retaining barrel lug and black goo. Drilled a 6mm hole through the lug seating holes, threaded the holes, blued the bolt and nut. Works well.

Re: AK handguard retainer
Looks good, that's shocking what the smith did. What thread pitch did you use?

Re: AK handguard retainer
It shouldn't come loose. Is there a reason you went back to wood?

Re: AK handguard retainer
Wanted to return it to its original state. Sold all the Magpul goodies to put the funds into the Colt LE6940 I purchased.
Oh, due to all the black Magpul I got tired of people complimenting me on my AR, and then having to explain that it was a T56. Hahaha!
