I have a floating handguard I want to install onto an AR that I have. I've got limited dexterity in my left hand, but I've watched some videos on this and it doesn't look that hard. Has someone done it here and could they elaborate on the difficulty level? If I can't do it I'll find someone to put it on.
 
Lots of details missing here.

What kind of gas block? Already a low profile? Or have a pinned front sight post?

What handguard do you have? Some are super easy. Some require lots of trial and error using shins to get perfect alignment at the desired torque value.

It can be a 15 minute job… or it could be a 2 hour job. All depends on your rifle and what you’re trying to slap on there.
