Handguards

[geo57]

Are the top and bottom hand guards on the Sport 15 the same in every regard and are interchangeable or is one of the halves meant for the top ( gas tube relief ) ?

I removed mine to wipe down the barrel & gas tube and though I looked at them at that time I failed to keep track of which was which before I re-installed them.

Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter as long as they've fit.

Thank you.

I took them out again and actually they look identical to me, tabs and all.

My only concern was any possible damage to the rear of the gas tube if I had put the wrong half on top.

Both my wife and I really enjoy shooting this rifle.

I love my sport 730 rds down range no problems and it's very accurate. It's a great gun if you take care of it, it will take care of you.
