[QUOTE="guns_not_groceries, post: 982027, member: 4874"] I recently picked up a VTAC extreme rail (almost identical to troy's trx extreme). The included barrel nut has much thinner teeth compared to the stardard barrel nut and my multi-tool has a tendency to slip over the teeth. I was able to get the barrel nut on and torqued to 80 ft/lbs with the gas tube lined up, but read over at ar15.com that you should loosen and re-torque the barrel nut 3 times to "seat" the threads. I made one attempt to loosen it, but the wrench wants to slip over the teeth. So, is it worth ruining the barrel nut to "seat" the threads? Or is that just a bunch of typical ar15.com bs? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
