The handguard cross bolts are supposed to clear the slots in the barrel nut. However, the cross bolt holes of the handguard are misaligned such that the cross bolts are forced to partially thread the barrel nut.

Yes, the handguard is not aligned with the upper receiver and the Picatinny rail fails to meet the tolerances of MIL-STD-1913.

The gas valve spring can fall out if improperly installed while under the handguard. It easily falls off when the handguard is disassembled. Removing the spring shouldn't cause any issues with the operation of the rifle, but why add a part that easily falls out. You can simply pinch the spring to tighen the fit on the gas valve to properly secure the spring.

When you say the pic rail is out of spec, is that just on the handguard? What about the reciever rail, is that machined in or secured with screws, and is it out of spec too? Like is your LPVO mount wiggling around in there?

The Picatinny rail is machined as part of the upper receiver and is also out of spec. The LPVO mount was able to be tightened but not all mounts may work with this rail.

Interesting... thanks for the response. Hoping you're just an IWI salesmen here to smear the Makasi 🤣🤣 and that the Makasi is actually fine.
