    There's a few discussions on line about the rpr hand guard cant.
    Shimming the brake requires a few different sized spacers. Did you buy a .308 shim kit? it's usually found next to suppressors in most LGS

    I got the Precision Armament M11, it came with a bunch of precisely sized spacers with a little chart of what to try first and what to use next. Pretty nice except that where I think it needs to be is like perfectly between them. Might try filing down one of the washers sometime. And it may be on me, since I'm just using a cloth and a pipe wrench to tighten it down, no vices either. Don't have a torque wrench so unsure if it actually can be tightened down quite a bit more but don't think so.


    Neat @ carry handle idea. Finally a use for those antiques. So if I had a old picatinny scope riser that's like 6 inches, I could probably use that?

    Just find someone that hasn't sent their Eotech back yet and use that.

    Drop by after work and we'll get the brake and hand guard aligned.
