I have not, and do use my ARs for more than just trips to the range.

However, I also install my handguards with Loctite, usually the green 680, between the nut and handguard. The only way the handguard will rotate at that point is if the whole barrel nut loosens, never had that happen though.


Given the zero lack of responses to the contrary, I'm guessing there haven't been many problems.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
