    I'm getting a masters in business and a PHD in mechanical engineering. Alright thanks guys I think I'm convinced to get the pros to do it and maybe try it on my own when im out of college and can afford a messup. I have not felt any other handguards other than the standard ones that come on AR's off the shelf. I may do some research and find a nicer handguard since I'm splurging and getting a nicer upper than I already have. Thanks again guys youve been very helpful

    Once you get the tools, and if you are a hands on type (I'm a mechanic) you will find yourself spending more money and playing with configurations just because you are always looking for an optimal set-up. Or maybe that's just me. The more you work on your own firearms the more you will understand how they operate. That is never a bad thing. Of course the potential to screw up is a possibility. I destroyed my share of radios, flashlights, sweepers, t.v. sets, and mowers as a kid. In the process I learned alot( I also learned about spankings too!) and was helping my grandpa at his t.v. repair service as a teenager. My dad was a mechanic so helping him was on the agenda too. It all depends what you are comfortable with, and if you are willing to pay for replacement if you screw up.
    Appeasement is never the answer in the face of naked aggression.

    I've done a lot to my 1911 and I've worked building houses for the past few summers so I'm fairly mechanically inclined, I would just rather not have to spend money to fix my mistakes since I'm pretty much broke right now. I may just have the pros do it and then tinker with it until im comfortable and then later on start doing it for myself.
