I have a Les Baer AR15 in 6.5 Grendel (or .264 LBC for the purists). The gun is awesome but the quad rail that came on it is not. I decided to change it out finally with an Aero Precision Enhanced MLok rail. I finally got all the parts in but the barrel nut does not fit over the barrel.
- Did I just happen to pick the one rail/barrel nut combo that won’t fit?
- are there certain brands/models that don’t fit so snug around the barrel itself?
Barrel nut ID - 1.0035”
Barrel OD - 1.05”
Any recommendations for something that will work better?
Subject rifle with awful quad rail:
Free rail to anyone that wants one with a hole in it (don’t ask)
