No, this handguard will not come with the barrel nut. You will require the TRX barrel nut and barrel wrench.

Will it fit a DPMS AR15?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 16, 2018

It depends on what model DPMS AR15 you have. The short answer is yes it will fit, however it may require you to modify your upper to take free float handguards if you currently have a delta ring assembly and 2 piece handguard.

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on July 28, 2022

This Troy Alpha Rail Free Float Modular AR Handguard is designed to fit AR15 platform rifles, not AR10 rifles. Because of the barrel nut size difference between the AR-10 and AR-15, the handguards and rail systems are not interchangeable.

Is the M-lok or Keymod parts fits the alpha rail ?

Expert Answer

The attachment systems include 3 picatinny rail sections that attach in a manner similar to key-mod, but it is considered Troy proprietary.

Hi, will this rail work with piston AR’s? Thank you

A
Answered by Chuck1284, member, from CA, United States, on December 27, 2018

There is not much room inside this handguard (1.35") so probably not enough for piston assembly.
