Most Helpful Positive Review Aero Precision BAR Barrel Nut
Needed a new BAR barrel nut for an Aero Precision Quantum handguard install. Optics Planet had it in stock and was not overpriced like some competitors and shipping was free. Easy to install. A standard armorers wrench is required along with a torque wrench. Aero Precision recommends torque 30 t...

Most Helpful Negative Review save yourself some money
I have built multiple AR’s and typically love AP but this thing is the most poorly designed product I have ever seen. There is no flat surface with which to use a crows foot wrench and nut uses the highly undesirable “four hole” configuration that makes wrench selection difficult. I can’t be more di...

Almost perfect

by trant, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on December 11, 2024
This barrel nut is wonderful for attaching any 'enhanced' handguard to a regular threaded upper receiver. However, you have to be sure that your AR armorer's wrench has those three round pegs protruding out, in order for it to fit this barrel nut; because not all armorer's wrenches are the same... Also, the eight Hex screws that screw into this barrel nut are not included; the Aero Precision handguard should have included them instead.
Pros:
  • Perfect Fit
Cons:
  • Picky on armorer's wrenches
Best Used for:
  • Connecting enhanced handguard to threaded upper
Would recommend: Yes

specific to Aero’s enhanced and Quantum rails

by bmigs, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on October 27, 2024
Don’t forget this if you buy Aero’s enhanced or Quantum rails. Both of which are great. Take notice of the wrench needed. Some armorers wrench’s work and others don’t.
Best Used for:
  • Aero builds
