Good for the money
Worthy replacement if you're in need after damaging, rounding corners or just need a spare to mach uppers. Also appears to fit into a couple other brands of clamping style handguards without issues.

WARNING: Fake Product
Wont pass 2 threads on 3 milspec reciever brands i have tried. New AR builders will be crossthreading and galling with this. Thread checker in my gunshop shows threads are not even consistant from face to shoulder.
Solid barrel nut
Well made, solid so it should hold the barrel well, but a tad heavy if you're going for a light weight build. Found that a carbine length gas tube made light contact with the nut during installation. Fit my PSA rail perfectly.
Pros:
- heavy
- solid
- universal
Cons:
- Heavy
Best Used for:
- Multipurpose platforms.
Would recommend: Yes
Heavier duty than the original
Not sure why the one that came with my hand guard was so thin and junky but this one is great! I ordered it as a replacement after snapping the original one at 30 ft lbs. As soon as I opened the package and felt it I knew something was different, so I was happy.
Pros:
- Strong & well made.
- easy to install, exactly as advertised
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes
Great feel and great customer service
Put it on my ar-15 and it feels great but it was missing the hardware that comes with it but I got in contact with them and received it about a week later
Would recommend: Yes
Well made, works
This does not come with torque specs, otherwise it was used to replace a smooth barrel nut for a Willow Defense Mlok handguard. I chose this based on the correct dimension(1.3 inches) and because it is knurled for better clamping force.
Would recommend: Yes
cheap and works
I heard these were in the lightweight Handguards and now they are just available as a standard barrel nut. Bought one it works fine. Now I need one of the lightweight barrel nuts for the Handguard. Don’t know if they are going to offer it separate but they should
Would recommend: Yes
Out of spec
As others have stated here and in the handguard reviews related to this barrel nut, the threads on this wouldnt even allow full threading onto any reciever.
On top of that, this hunk of junk weighs so much, any weight savings gained by a trybe handguard are negated by the barrel nut.
It is a standard OD,.though, so I threw the nut away and used the HG with a Fostech nut.
Id steer clear of this one.

missing Parts Every Time
I ordered this product a while ago and when it was received it was missing the screws. I contacted Optics Planet and they sent me another one which was also missing screws. I contacted again and in total they sent me 4 of these parts kits and everyone was missing the screws. Optics Planet had no options but to offer me a less than $10 refund on my original purchase. They offered to return the hand-guard but I like it and want to use it. I feel that it is super incompetent on their part to not to remove these parts that were missing screws. Unfortunately my rifle is still not done until I can find some screws that will work or decide to replace the hand-guard.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: No
