I've lost the bolts on the handguard twice. It's obvious as the mirror shakes violently. No damage though.
Good luck!!

#1 best fix for handguard/mirror assemblies is a trash can.

ever heard of preventative maintenance?
try checking tightness on bolts and nuts every now and then, and perhaps shit will not fall off (as often).
