How do I get the lower handguard off? I flipped the lever back, and slid the retaining plate as far forward as it will go, but the plate doesn't seem to slide forward enough (like a normal AK), because it bumps up against the FSB. Am I missing something here, or do I simply have to force the handguard outt?

Disregard, I figured it out with some help. I finally got the plate to twist enough to fit under the FSB.
