Questions & Answers
Does it come with a barrel nut? Expert Answer

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

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.

A Rail Built to Last a Lifetime by Dennis Brown, Verified Owner, January 21, 2018
Very easy to install, looks great. Used MBUS sights and was on the target first shot, Troy has some of the best stuff out there. Tough built, but very light, and gave my rifle a balanced feel. Looks great too.
