Over Under - Forend

I thought this might be answer to the empty space between the extended handguard and muzzle brake. It is well machined but someone who wasn't thinking specified a gloss black finish. It stands out in undesirable way for the firearm which has flat black furniture. It is also possible to run the adapter completely off the end of the barrel threads depending on the tolerances of your firearm. This means it will never tighten onto the handguard like the short factory barrel shroud. The factory, partially at fault, needs to make the barrel threads twice as long as long to eliminate problems mounting accessories onto the barrel threads of the VR80.
