This nut requires shims to time it?

What is the thread size on the barrel nut? Will it fit a aero precision m4e1 upper?

Expert Answer

A

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on November 16, 2023

The TRYBE Defense Standard Handguard Hardware Kit will not work with the Aero M4E1 Upper Receiver. You will need to use the Aero Precision Barrel Nut that comes with that Upper Receiver due to the proprietary design.
