Thanks, I was mostly concerned there were some sort of fancy knots involved in doing this correctly. I seem to have managed to approximate what I've seen in the pics.
My initial thought would be that the FSB could get hot enough during heavy firing to melt the paracord, however the practice of using paracord seems common enough that I have to assume that is is not the case.
We'll see how it holds up.
EDIT: tried to post a pic but the new Imgur app is a PITA to use.
Guess an attached file will have to do. There's quite a few pics of IDF M16A1s that have been refitted with A2 handguards. Also a lot of Israeli guns seem to have been refinished much blacker than the grey normally associated with the A1s.
Shown with Israeli surplus FN Hi Power and Israeli gas mask.
