Did they use loctite?
Thank you for contacting us, all it would have taken was a phone call and I could have helped you out or at least answered your questions.
There is a possibility it was a factory installed hand guard, if so the installer did not apply the supplied loctite to the barrel nut.
We ship every hand guard with provided loctite and this helps the hand guard stay on in the event the clamp screws are not torqued to the correct torque spec.
If you would have contacted me I would have also walked you through the correct installation process and given you the correct torque spec to clamp the screws to (35 IN/lbs).
Please give me a call or have your customer call me and I will make sure they are good to go.
Thank You

Andy, thanks for taking the time to respond. I can appreciate MI making an effort to stand behind their product. However, your response (if I'm understanding it correctly) serves to lessen my opinion of the product. If MI is suggesting that Loctite be applied to the knurled area of the barrel nut to adhere it to the interior surface of the rail, I just can't get behind that. "Gluing" gun parts together as a primary means of installation goes against what I believe most of us here would consider to be a good idea.
I also want to clarify that the opinions I'm expressing here are my own and have no bearing on and are not reflective of those of my employer.

I always find it odd that folks get indignant when they don't follow directions and something doesn't work right.
I think that there is a quote in the movie "Forrest Gump" that would be apropos. Something about is and does.
