Effects of Removing Forend Cap

[RedNeck Jim]

What I need now is a barrel wrench to check the barrel nut is good and tight and when I do that I may just leave the forend cap off all together.

Any thoughts?

I think all owners need a good barrel wrench & barrel vise. It is a good idea to verify your barrel is tightened properly plus I take my barrel off for cleaning. I got my tools from Tacticool22.

The end cap is purely cosmetic and can possible touch the barrel depending on how you grip, so I'd remove it.

Thanks for the input Jim, The problem is i am in the UK and getting the wrench & vise at a reasonable price is a problem, in fact getting anything firearm related at a reasonble price in the UK is always a problem Jim.

After reading through all this I'm thinking opening up the hole in the cap with a dremel or drill bit is probably the best idea, as SW Gun Guy stated. This way if there is a drop or fall the HG can't be flexed too far.
