TC has always sent them to me for free when I have had some come loose.

Don't overtighten the forend screw or they will loosen more often.

If you shoot your handcannons as much as I did, they can also come loose just from shooting.   I had the forend stand-offs spot welded to the barrel on some of my most used HC's.   Worked out very well with no further problems.

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Think I'm gonna try that approach,I did though hear a small crunch/crack when I last installed my sling swivel stud into the front hole of my foregrip. SAS98M
