ODIN Works KMod Handguard Update

I finally received my gas block yesterday, so I was able to install the ODIN Works KMod Handguard last night.

Let me start by saying out of the many different Handguards I have installed each of them has had their own quirks. Anything from having to tighten the barrel nut down "just a little more" (and then some more), to having to install the gas block after the Handguard is installed. Each company likes to do their own thing, so you have to figure it out when you get to that point. 

The ODIN Works KMod has to have been one of the easier Handguards I have installed. Instead of having to mess with making sure you have the barrel nut lined up so your gas tube will go through you simply install the outer nut and put a solid piece through that looks like a gas tube.

You have to tap the piece in so you can get a wrench on the inner barrel nut, and it will require you to tap it a bit to remove it once the nut is tightened down. This piece does an awesome job of keeping your gas tube holes lined up though.

Once the barrel but is tightened up and the gas tube piece has been removed you just install your gas block and gas tube. 

The Handguard slides right over the outer nut and mates up beautifully with the upper receiver.

There are 6 screws that attach the Handguard to the outer nut, and once installed they hold it tightly in place. 

The 15.5" Handguard comes right up to the bottom of the flash hider, giving it a sleek almost uninterrupted look from the rear of the upper receiver to the front of the Handguard. 

I am looking forward to getting plenty of range time with this Handguard, and I am  planning on making use of the KMod mounting options. This will be an ongoing series about the Handguard and how well it holds up.
