Interesting. I never knew such a tool existed to remove handguards. Usually I'd just cuss at one if I had to struggle with it.
Wait. The handguards came off????
Did you you guys use a handguard removal tool to get the handgaurds off? When I was in, we had the M16A1 and those hangaurds were easy to take off compared to the new ones on my non free-floated AR's. Of course those old A1's had more mileage than the workers in the Red Light district. The delta ring springs were pretty loose.
Never used a tool in the service. If they were really tight it was a 2 person job.

M16A2 during Desert Storm. We never had tools to remove the hand guard. The tools you see for sale were made for civilians who were new to the AR-15 and had trouble removing the handguard. The tool is not needed.
...I'm still trying to wrap my head around slathering a AR bolt in grease and then dipping it in motor oil.
I know this is not completely germaine to the topic, but it runs parallel
