I found that heating up the panels a little with a hair dryer makes it much easier to install them.
After installing them I have to say these panels are great.
Any word on a VFG or the heat shield ?

How many handguard panel sets should I purchase to do TWO rifles 4 or 5?
Also, Todd or noveske, any idea when the 5 slit keymods will be back in stock?
Thanks,

I recently received my Noveske 8.2" 300Blk with 7" NSR rail. I havent spent a lot of time trying, but the little panels do seem to be a bitch to install. I am going to try and heat them up a little and see if it helps, but to be honest, I am not sure I really even need them. I will likely get a 5 slot NSR rail section for a stubby VFG and that is all I will attach to the rail. Here are a couple pictures. I havent seen another 8.2"upper with 7" NSR.

Nice upper!
I should post up a video or something. You dont need to heat the nsr rail covers up, or use some lube or anything else. You guys are giving up too easy.
Just a flat head screw driver and a little downward/forward pressure. They slide right on. Put the flat head part of the screwdriver in the little T slot that locks the panels in. Use the screw driver as a levrage to push the panel forward while you push down on the panel with your other hand.
And everyone complaining about the hand stop being hard to install (including myself) there is an easy way to install it. Grab something small,hard, and right angled. Block of wood, a hardback book, or something similar. I actually used a dip can. Place the object behind the handstop and push forward and down. Snaps in quite easily.

OK. I guess I am a bit thick. I tried multiple ways and am not having much with these things. Need to figure this out by the time I get my rail sections because then I will NEED this to work.
Hopefully Noveske can improve the design making them a bit easier to install, because right now, they require too much effort in my opinion.
Or at least put out a video (if there isnt one already. I know I havent seen one) that shows the trick to get them in easy.
I still love the rail, just need some training, lol.
