Well, it uses a proprietary barrel nut, so you have to remove the gas system, lock the upper in a vise, remove the factory barrel nut and delta ring assembly, install the new, MI barrel nut, re-install the gas system with a low profile gas block, and then install the handguard. I'm a certified AR armorer so it was pretty routine for me. It's not rocket surgery but it requires some specialty tools, mechanical aptitude, and a working knowledge of how the AR system works. Another thing you may notice on my handguard is the addition of a couple screws through the handguard and into the barrel nut for added security.
The couple of screws through the hand guard and into the barrel nut were 100% necessary in my experience with this hand guard. Without them it walked out. For anyone considering this hand guard do yourself a favor and do this like ASH556 suggests.

cbas26,
What barrel or model MP-10 do you have? Mine is the really skinny barrel with the flash hider. I would really like to have a heavy barrel to put in my 10.

The evolution of my M&P-10
The lower rifle, with the exception of the Aimpoint Micro, is how my Big Smith came from the factory
It only took a couple of shots to realize the M4 style stock wasn't gonna cut it. The Magpul furniture was robbed off an AR carbine
The Big Smith shot very well with the Aimpoint, but I bought it for a scope. Besides, I needed the Aimpoint back on my HD carbine. First, I mounted a 10x Leupold
Then a 2.5-10x Nightforce came my way
This weekend, I removed that ugly chunk of metal S&W calls a flash hider and installed a BABC. No photos yet and haven't had a chance to shoot it. But the rifle looks and feels better. The S&W hider weighs a full quarter pound and has 4.5 inch/lbs of moment when hung off an 18 barrel. I'm glad it's finally gone!
Future plans include a lower profile for the gas block and either a Lancer or Troy carbon fiber free float handguard

Ash, I like how you've set up your rifle- with the exception of that muzzle brake!Good looking, no nonesense configuration. Can't wait until I've got enough money to install a FF tube on mine
Haha, hate it til you shoot it.
looking forward to seeing yourd with FF and BABC!Heh! I've shot 308 with brakes. No thanks! I'd rather deal with the recoil than the concussion. The BABC isn't bad on concussion though. A Belgian Combo Device is a little worse than the BABC but still tolerable.
Are you in Utah? If so, we should get together for a shoot
ETA- I just checked. I see you're in Georgia

Sold my M&P-10 and bought this PWS .308 and couldn't be happier. The price was more, but it also came with several nice pieces that I didn't have to upgrade like I did on my M&P. This thing will eat any ammo I feed it unlike my M&P-10. The accuracy is better too (I was shooting this better with a stock trigger vs my M&P-10 with a Geissele SSA-E), but it has a 20" barrel rather than 18" like the M&P. I'm really a fan of these PWS piston rifles. It is heavier, but that doesn't concern me as I plan to shoot this rifle prone most of the time. I have other rifles for hunting and to carry over a distance. Shooting suppressed is just a matter of one click of adjustment on the factory gas block.

Out of curiosity, why the .5" rise on the M-308 mount, preference or necessary? I have just purchased this same scope but have not yet installed it.Here's mine, still a work in progress. The Magpul ACS Stock goes back to my Akdal MKA1919 12 Gauge as soon as I install the new PRS Stock.
Apex Handguard
Temporary 'El Cheapo Bipod
Nikon M308 Scope w/additional .5" Riser
