        Metric gun? I just saw a "G" series on sale at my favorite local shop yesterday. If I had a spare $8k laying around, I'd BUY it!

          Don't lose that spacer, they're unobtanium. From what I remember people think you need two, but they only came with one.

            You can find them online in two packs for heavy and light barrel for like 4$ and my gas tube has wear marks for two but one is really worn into it and the other is surface wear and the hand guard metal shows wear of one so came to the conclusion it takes one if at all. No drawings I have seen have them I was finally able to see one on a picture from DSA complete rifle that had one. Are the truly needed ?

              Link? I see ARS has some repros for $14 but the originals are $75 and OOS. Not sure if the repros are new, I had been looking into what's needed when I was installing heavy barrel furniture on my DSA a few years back before the latest round of Israeli surplus came here last year. At that time light barrel stuff had long since dried up.

              From my research on falfiles they only came with one but due to the wooden portion of the left and right handguards being interchangeable (like A2 hand guards) they have notches for two and people over here think they need two. Metal portion the wood is riveted to is different of course. From what falfiles said unless you're clamping down on the hand guard like a lobster you'll not need them. I modified some heavy barrel hand guards to fit on mine so the dot was tight to begin with. I never encountered hand guard wobble with mine.

                DS arms should have them, as said above. Otherwise numrich, and robert rtg, and possibly apex are good options.
                That said it is just a washer/spacer. Easy to get a generic with same/similar ID/OD if needed.

                That said it really doesn’t do muxh other than aesthetic filler.

                Just looked.

                  I have a LMT reciever/Steyr parts STG58 with all orig parts and a bunch of other stuff. Magpul Sniper stock, VLTOR handguard, DSA picatinny etc.

                  $2k if someone wants it.

                  Pretty unobtanium as far as goes for CA types.

                  I am free state so happy to get into a FN when the time comes.

                  Until then I have a lttle paratrooper to keep me satiated.

                    My izzy clone, looks like a chopped HB but its just a metric with izzy furniture, has one. It is an anodized aluminum spacer that fits into a cutout on the handguards. Not sure it does anything other than fill that space, the metal is stout and i dont think it is necessary.
