    Colt M4 LE6920MPS Delta ring?

    My delta ring on my new Colt M4 moves just a tiny,tiny bit to the left and right when you try to give it a turn, but my Magpul SL Handguards are still very tight on the gun. Is this normal for the delta ring to have that little bit of a turn to it, almost like it just moves a notch or something?

    How much play are you talking about? There is a notch in it that the gas tube passes through, so it really can't move more than a fraction of an inch in either direction.

    I'm talking very,small like what your describing. I thought the delta ring mainly just held the handguards in place?

    Colt M4 LE6920MPS Delta ring?

    Completely normal & nothing to worry about. It's hitting the gas tube when when you try to rotate it. It's only held in place with a cir-clip & spring tension on the barrel nut.

    Thats good ,thank you for the responses. I just never messed with it till the other day and noticed it had that tiny ,tiny bit of play in it. And didn't know for sure if it should be rock solid or have that little tiny bit of play. Sounds like its normal from what you say Ryno12.

    The delta ring, spring, and barrel nut work together to the keep handguards in place. The handguard engages the notches in the barrel nut. The delta ring slips over the barrel nut & the spring tension keeps pressure on the handguard and slides over the top of the handguard & barrel nut engagement points. This is why you pull back the delta ring to remove the handguards. There's a cir-clip that keeps the delta ring & spring on the barrel nut.

    So as long as my handguards feel rock solid on the gun everything should be just fine in all those areas?

    Yep. There may even be a tad bit of movement with the handguards too; nothing to worry about unless it's excessive.

    I checked them to but they are rock solid on the gun like they are part of the barrel itself. Which I guess is good, but I'm guessing they could be a pain to ever remove huh lol?
