If it touched the front retaining cap, it wouldn't be free floating. No, it doesn't.And I appreciate the fact that DD made sure there was not a big gap.
I put a link to the Omega 7 install in a previous post in this thread....did you read it? Just wondering as I thought most of your questions would have been answered in the write-up.
I scanned through it and yes it did answer the questions. I just had to ask the gap is so close. I find it very cool that you can use the cap to keep stuff out of your handguard. I wasnt meaning to offend, I tried extra special hard to word it to not offend. But man that gap is close.
