So, I'd like to do a retro AR build.
I've always thought the A1 triangular handguards were aesthetically pleasing. Is there any reason, other than being anachronistic, not to pair them with an A2 upper receiver? Is there anything special required to install them compared to the regular handguards?
I've also heard they can be awkward for lefties, but I've never been given a reason why. I'm wondering if this was more for the A1 in general since it lacked the brass deflector.
