Ruger PC Carbine Crooked Handguard

[Boomstick300]

Hi! Wondering if anyone has run into a off-center (left/Right) handguard on the PC Carbine. Any fixes? I just picked it up and have yet to shoot it. If it’s accurate I’m fine with it aesthetically. Takedown and assembly fit perfectly and smooth. I have removed the handguard several times and changed up my torque pattern on the bolts to see if I could coerce it but alignment never changed. Thanks for any advice.

More likely the barrel is torqued too far to one side.

Contact Ruger. IF its within their spec there's "nothing to fix" but if its not, they will fix it.

I don't understand why the OP doesn't right away get on the horn to Ruger and complain that he has a Cockeyed gun.

Tell em boom stick broken!

Come on, man.

Are you sure the hand guard isn't loose/out of alignment? Could be a 20 second fix (though I'm not familiar with this particular model).

Need a bigger picture. I can't quite make out the molecualr structure of the plastic, um, polymer.

I can sell you a pair of forum 4x x-ray glasses.

1,936px × 2,592px is waaaaay too big. Please reduce the size of your pictures.

I don't think those barrels are screwed in.
