[QUOTE="257wby, post: 2790986, member: 9582"] Tcox, I didn't even think of a lathe. This would be the best option. Nice of Dennis to offer his service. That's quite a drive from Weatherford though. I'm sure there is a machine shop or 2 in Weatherford that has a lathe. Don't know what they would charge,but personally I wouldn't take a hack saw to a $200+ handguard. Even in a miter jig, I would think there would be too much torsion in the hacksaw blade and slack in the jig. Someone may be able to do it, but I couldn't make a perfect cut. [/QUOTE]
