Frequently Asked Questions

What hand guard do you recommend with the LEO TakeDown? arrow

The LEO TakeDown is compatible with most free-float hand guards. Hand guards that are compression locking with a flat edge work the best. Hand guards with anti-rotation features that protrude over the upper receiver will not work unless the protrusions are removed. The LEO TakeDown is NOT compatible with D-Ring mounted hand guards.

I tried to install the gas tube but the hand guard barrel nut is interfering with the gas tube from being straight. How do I fix this? arrow

When properly installed, the LEO TakeDown moves the hand guard, barrel nut forward approximately 1” toward the muzzle. On pistol length, and some carbine length, barrels we recommend barrel nut lengths 2 in. and shorter. For barrel nuts longer than 2 in., a “wedge” may need to be cut into the leading edge of the barrel nut to allow the gas tube to free float.

I’ve assembled the entire unit but the spring sleeve will not close. Why not? arrow

A – Check to make sure the hand guard does not have any appendages protruding back further than the barrel nut.
B – The barrel nut is not properly seated on the barrel and may require shimming.
Contact us if further assistance is needed.

I’ve reassembled the hand guard but it extends beyond the flash suppressor. What should I do? arrow

Recommend a shorter hand guard. Keep in mind, the LEO TakeDown will move the hand guard barrel nut forward approximately 1” on the barrel.

Can I use a traditional A post, clam shell hand guard? arrow

The traditional D-Ring supported hand guard (M-4 clam shell) requires mounting the hand guard using receptacles in the front and back. A modified, or cut down, free float hand guard can be used with the traditional A post but the coupling is not designed to support the traditional D-Ring clam shell type hand guard. We recommend a free float, compression locking hand guard that has a flat surface on the upper receiver end.

What barrels are compatible with LEO TakeDown? arrow

Mil-Spec style AR-15 barrels with a diameter at the barrel extension of .975 to .980 in.

How much length does LEO TakeDown add to the rifle? arrow

The LEO TakeDown adds no additional length to the barrel or the firearm. However, the LEO TakeDown moves the barrel nut down the barrel 1 in. making rails functionally 1 in. longer. Consider this when choosing rail length so as not to cover the muzzle.

What calibers are compatible with LEO TakeDown? arrow

The LEO TakeDown is compatible with all calibers that currently run out of the AR-15 chassis.

What is the purpose of the 4 studs on the outside of the receiver coupling? arrow

Those are the lockout studs, which correspond to index marks on the slip ring that allow you to insert and remove the barrel when aligned. To lock the barrel in place rotate the index marks out of alignment with the studs. These are set at the factory, please do not adjust.

Is LEO TakeDown compatible with piston systems? arrow

If the gas piston is the diameter of the gas tube or smaller, professional gunsmith modifications are required.

I still have questions, what do I do? arrow
