WARNING: DPMS PANTHER CLAW P/N TL-PRC (AR-15) & P/N 308-TL-PRC (.

308) ARE THE


ONLY APPROVED FIXTURING UNITS FOR HOLDING THE MTS DURING ASSEMBLY. THE USE
OF ANY OTHER INSTALLATION TOOL WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

WARNING: IF YOUR INSTALLATION INCLUDES A LOW-PROFILE GAS BLOCK, WHICH FITS


BENEATH THE HANDGUARD, IT MUST BE DETERMINED THAT THE GAS BLOCK SLIDES
ONTO THE BARREL WITHOUT DIFFICULTY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. ADDITIONALLY, WE
RECOMMEND HAVING THE BARREL DIMPLED FOR THE GAS BLOCK SET SCREWS (REFER
TO RECOMMENDED PART NUMBERS FOR LOW PROFILE GAS BLOCKS).

NOTE: IF YOUR BARREL AND GAS BLOCK DO NOT FIT TOGETHER PROPERLY, MEGA ARMS
CAN CORRECT THIS FOR YOU. CALL FOR PRICING. 1-877-857-5372.

RECOMMENDED PART NUMBERS FOR LOW PROFILE GAS BLOCKS:

Rainier Arms: Low profile match grade gas block

Stag: Low profile gas block

Vltor: GB-2S

with dimples, ready to receive a low
profile gas block.

Step 1
Apply a coat of lithium grease or anti-seize
equivalent for easier assembly and
removal.

Step 2
Insert the barrel into the MKM, and insure
that the alignment pin locates in the
alignment slot. This is done by checking
the barrel extension seat.

Step 3
There should be no gap between the
barrel extension and its mating surface,
as pictured at right. Warning: if barrel
extension is not seated correctly, it will
cause irreparable damage.

Step 4
Apply a generous amount of anti-seize or
lithium grease equivalent on the threaded
portion of the barrel nut.

Step 5
Using a ½ “torque wrench, tighten to 65
foot pounds. Loosen and re-torque (Note:
Because the square for the torque wrench
is offset from the center of the wrench, 65
ft.-lbs. on the wrench translates to 75 foot
pounds on the nut. Do not try to
compensate for the offset. This has
already been calculated.)

Step 6
Affix gas block to barrel and tighten
accordingly.

Step 7
Slide hand guard over flange of upper and
prepare for installing torx screws.

Step 8
Using a T15 torx wrench, install torx screws
into your MKM. Loctite may be used on the
screws. We do not specify use, but if
desired, Loctite 222ms low strength is
preferred.

Step 9
After properly installing your hand guard,
your MKM is ready for use. Please contact
Mega Arms if any questions arise.
