Differences between T22 Handguard conversion

[tacticool22]

How and why is this considered a "2 piece" handguard? I see one tubular shaped piece that is the handguard. Aside from the way it's attached to the receiver, the handguard is still 1 piece isn't it?

Which this?
The picture Brett248Vista has shows a standard M4 2 piece hand guard. It is a 2 piece because one piece is on above the barrel and the other piece is below the barrel. It needs the spring loaded delta ring and the end cap at the gas block to keep it in place.
A one piece or free floating hand guard would just screw onto the adapter nut.

That way your trainer is set up exactly like your center fire rifle.
Or you can make your rifle your own. Some people really like the look and feel of 2 piece hand guards. Some are nostalgic for the Vietnam era triangle hand guards even.

Ok, that makes sense.
