So I thought to mention that (I have to remove 4 crush washers - my poor planning). THESE MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE THE MUZZLE. They attach to the open end of the rail with 4 tapered screws (to prevent things from getting into the handguard area - if you desire), and the caps have 2 small set screw against the barrel. If you want them, ohhunts makes and sells them too. Mid $300's for 10 free float handguards.īear in mind these are set up to receive the rail end caps. But the tubes all passed through and everything seats fine.

The ONLY thing I found was a slight variance in the HEIGHT of the gas tube holes when torquing (the gas tube would tap the receiver entrance on the top side (I have a cheap flex video scope).

Only thing is there is no instruction - though I watched an identical handguard install online (same mfr I presume). Finding these was an unexpected surprise.

I had inadvertently bought barrels with dedicated pinned low pro gas blocks, making free float a necessity. I think they may just keep these, unless very particular. Trying to keep the investment as small as possible (when sold, new owners will customize every part to their favor). The price for these rails is outstanding. At the time of this review I have all the ohhunt barrel nuts installed and 4 of the handguards. After you get this thing installed, you have admitted it's a looker! Real robust and firm rail with no wiggle whatsoever.South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands (USD $) This was the only way I got this rail to work. Eventually, I had to consult a gunsmith who advised me to crank the torque on up over 80 lbs the gun would be okay. The mil-spec 'sprocket' style barrel nut I had overnighted refused to line up appropriately, so the gas tube wouldn't be out of alignment. It was a 'batteries not included' level of frustration. I had to get the rail to figure out it didn't come with a barrel nut. I think most of the aftermarket ar rail system manufacturers have their proprietary barrel nut, which usually aids in installation. My prior experience is with an Odin Works 15.5' Keymod rail, and they have their proprietary barrel nut, which is remarkably smart for lining up the gas tube. My four-star rating is entire because of this issue. What they are forgetting is the guy building an AR from scratch. They are assuming you have a standard Mil-Spec barrel nut already installed on the barrel. The assumption is that you already have a MOE or Mil-Spec type hand-guard. This being said, Samson manufacturing has made one assumption, which I think is a weak point in the installation process.
