Q

Jon, member, from WA, United States, asked on January 26, 2021

What is the material that the barrel nut is made of?

A

Answered by TX2A, member, from TX, United States, on November 07, 2021

Barrel nut is no longer titanium, currently being shipped out with steel. The result is an over priced mid tier product. At 11.2 oz for the 15” given the lack of durability you could get a Troy battle rail 12.3oz for $70 less and durable.

Q

Carl, guest, from PA, United States, asked on September 24, 2020

Will this fit a Mega Maten receiver? I have matching upper and lower amb set wondering if this will fit.

A

Answered by TX2A, member, from TX, United States, on March 28, 2021

The Maten is high profile and so is this, should mount up fine. I would include a set of shims for the barrel nut to assist in aligning the mounting screws for the rail.

Q

Pewpew007, member, from CA, United States, asked on August 13, 2020

Will this match up to a aero m5 upper? Is this a high or low profile?

A

Answered by TX2A, member, from TX, United States, on March 28, 2021

The information you are looking for can be found on the Dark Hour Defense website "for the 308 DPMS Standard/High platform". As for the mating to an Aero M5, you can use any DPMS high-profile handguard. If you have the M5E1 you are SOL due to their proprietary barrel nut.
