LRRPF52,
Hoping to stay in the 50-60# range. Several things I liked about the Diamondhead handguard. The proprietary nut that doesn't have to align the gas tube with a slot or hole in the nut. The tight tolerances and rigidity. Also it looks good and should be very comfortable in the hand. I know I'll pay extra for that but I think it's worth it.
I'll be using an 18" Liberty barrel, so if I have a tight fit between the upper and barrel I'll fore go the locktiting on the barrel extension. Any thoughts on locktiting or anti-seizing the threads? I read Bills comment in one thread and IIRC he stated that the locktite kept the threads from galling, which is the primary purpose of the anti-seize???
thanks,
CC
