work but fitting sucks

Got this with an aero atlas r-one 9 inche hand guard It did not fit easy. It scrapped and rubbed all along the top and that little bulge on the right side did the same, scuffed up and gouged the inside of the hand guard pretty good. It free'd up once it was all said and done but wasn't 100% free floating, that bulge on the right touched the hand guard. I decided to mark where the gas block sat in the hand guard. Took it all apart and grinded down the hand guard.I grinded enough that I could slide a few pieces of paper through. Haven't had a chance to run it and if it stays free floating or it touches again. Not as "low profile" as the name implies.

AR-15 Gas Block Low Profile .875 Steel B

Big, bulky, the turret on the side is gigantic. Requires large free float handguard. Not suitable for low profile free float handguards. I need to return it for refund.
