For those who like to tinker. Adjustable gas block? Just want to clean? Change a gas port size? On, off and on again in a minute.
When designing a rail, we started with our customer base in mind. We have been to the range doing research and development and grew tired of undoing screws and having to carry a few tools to tune the rifle the way we wanted. So we put an end to it. This isn't a tacticool gimmick, this is for you, the builder.
If you notice, our barrel nut centers on the inside of the rail extrusion. This is our anti rotation, no tabs sticking out, no extra pieces to fiddle with. Just get the barrel nut right and you're good to go.
We chose to use a two piece system to cinch the barrel nut down. We have an outer sleeve, that aligns the rail and locates the rail with a pin as well as a steel barrel nut with 1.25" flats for torquing the system down.
Unlock the cam clamp to begin the disassembly process. This should be torqued to approximately 15 inch lbs when closed.
The takedown pin is the second step of the puzzle. Alone it is enough to keep the rail on and clamped well enough that it isn't necessary to be clamped. The clamp removes every drop of wiggle from this system.
The system works together to create a sleek and secure locking mechanism for your AR-15 while allowing you the ability to clean, modify, or just show off.
Take a second to familiarize yourself with your handguard. Both barrel nut and the alignment tool are contained in the assembly.
Familiarize yourself with the cam clamp and takedown pin.
The alignment tool is held captive by two vitton O-rings, the same used in an M4 bolt assembly, remove the alignment tool from the handguard assembly.
