Does not fit 80percent billet upper

I have a 80percent (brand name) billet upper and this hand guard does NOT fit it. The dog ears make it impossible to fit. Even if I shaved them off the top rail is offset from lower hand guard and there would be a gap. It would be easy to blame the upper for not being mil spec... conversley the discription on the hand guard says nothing about only fitting mil spec.

THE OTHER REVIEWERS NEVER INSTALLED IT

Uh, the "new improved" design requires the slots to line up 0-90-180-270 when the nut is tightened. Duh, you absolutely require the barrel shims. All of Midwest's videos show the slots magically lining-up!
