To remove the handguard on the M16 assault rifle, first remove the magazine. Next pull back the charging handle and inspect the chamber to ensure that the weapon is clear. Now place the rifle on the ground with the buttplate on the floor and the muzzle facing up. Pull down on the delta ring with one hand, and pull apart the handguard with the other. If you have an M16A1, the handguard will come apart down the middle. If your M16 has A2 or later style handguards, they will come apart to the left and right. M16A1s lack a flared delta ring, and may require a tool to pull down if you lack sufficient strength.
