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

This handguard uses a standard AR15 barrel nut. You'll have to remove the Delta Ring assembly from the nut (collet & spring) to install. Installation is a breeze compared to those with a proprietary barrel nut and forend is heavy-duty.
