    Contact S&W and tell them of your problems. I wouldn't be surpised if they fix it. But, remember they can't do anything if you don't tell them the issue.

    Could you elaborate more about the issues you are having? Provide some backgound about the ammo you are using and how many rounds you have through the weapon.

    Have you conisdered something simple like replacing the ejector spring? Or putting some oil on the ejector and working it a little?

    Since you state you are a novice I would find someone that REALLY knows the platform and see about diagnosing the issue first.

    The problem originally was that the weapon would not expel the spent casing. Well about a year ago I sent it in to S&W and they said it was fixed. I took it to the range and everything was fine but what I didn't discover was that now the weapons charging handle gets jammed if I attempt to clear the weapon. Basically I can't expel the chambered round but I can shoot it.

    The ammo I have been using is m193 and today I tried some Black Hills and I had more problems.

    So basically if you chamber a round and then attempt to extract the round manually, it will not extract? If that is the case I would think that the chamber is tight.

    I assume that you are lubing the weapon properly? Not just a few drops but actually getting the BCG wet? If not, you should. As well as applying some lube to the top and sides of the charging handle.

    I would still contact S&W and explain what the issue was in the past and that you are having more issues and they need to make it right. If that all fails then by all means I would sell the upper and get a BCM upper. They can be had for a good price right now.

    Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try and get it fixed by S&W. We'll see how that convo goes tomorrow and I'll go from there.

    Alright, so I spoke with S&W and they are going to "take a look" at the rifle. If they can re-create the malfunction at their range then they will fix the weapon. The rep said that more than likely they would swap out the barrel, I didn't understand what that had to do with round extraction. Either way I'm going to send it back tomorrow with a detailed letter explaining what the problem is.

    In the meantime, I went ahead and purchased a LE6920 and I could not be happier. Once I get the S&W back then I'll either keep it as a spare rifle or I may sell it. I've had two different offers already so we'll see how things go at that point.

    Thanks for the advice and information, it was helpful.

    Now that I got that out of the way, I'd like to get back to the title of this thread. After opening the box for the LE6920 I fell in love with how comfortable the plastic handguards are. Going from the Troy rail on the MP15T(which was not very comfortable) to these I could not get over how comfortable the Colt is to shoot.

    That said, I would like to get a handguard that allows for rail inserts but is still as comfortable as the stock handguard. The only one that I have been able to find that fit the description is the Magpul Handguard. Does anyone have any that they would suggest?

    It's the MOE hand guard. I like the modularity of the Daniel Defense 7.0 Lite Rail for my 6920s, but all you really need is FSB mount for a light and a VFG if you desire, with a bottom rail piece to use for the MOE. The DD AR15 Lite Rail12.0 FSP, is also a sweet set up, as you can mount a light in front of the FSB in the 12 O'Clock position. If you just want comfortable handguards similar to the original as the lease expensive option, the MOE is the ticket.
