- BARREL NUT: Free-float barrel nut system (externally threaded alloy aluminum barrel nut and a steel jam nut).
- THREADS: Standard Yankee Hill thread count.
- TORQUE: 35-40 ft-lbs recommended (as with any standard aluminum barrel nut). A small spot of Moly Lube is also recommended, but not required.
- LENGTHS: Measured from tip of end cap to end of jam nut (i.e. fully-installed length).
- AR-10 BARREL NUT INSTALLATION: The large piece of the nut with the gas tube hole in it goes with the flat side towards the upper receiver, and the side with the smooth recess goes towards the muzzle. It does not need to bottom out against the upper. The inner ring – the piece that looks like a bicycle gear -needs to be tightened against the barrel extension collar. While this ring does need to make contact with the barrel collar, it should not be bottomed out against the barrel nut body.

Great for lightweight builds
by Jackal, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on July 25, 2021 – via Optics Planet
I keep trying to create a fist around it to see if it will give, but nope, this thing is super sturdy. Its also nice to have the options of flip-up sights on it. Make sure to run something across it first to get rid of all the carbon fiber splinters to avoid them in your hands. Heard a previous reviewer and followed their recommendation. After that you could easily grip this bare handed or, as I normally do, with gloves. I added a tiny handstop on the bottom row to avoid any slippage. Now it just in NFA jail waiting on my SBR tax stamp. The barrel is a 10″ which fits it perfectly. I used some aluminum black to fix the scratches I put in during installation which is somewhat unavoidable, but I just used an adjustable 3/4″ to 2″ cheap spanner wrench from Amazon, but to each their own. Anyways, the aluminum black did its job and you cant even tell it was scratched during install. This is definitely a great answer to how do I save weight on a build while maintaining strength.

Light and strong
by Strelok, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on May 12, 2018 – via Optics Planet
I bought the 12″ version of this handguard, and it’s a wonder to hold. Light as a feather, but despite that it’s far more rigid than the woven “basket” design would suggest. It doesn’t bend or flex in the slightest under pressure, and so far it’s taken day-to-day abuse without issue. The integrated sling swivel stud is a nice touch–it means I don’t need to buy an M-lok backing plate or sling mount. In general, I’d say the ATLAS model is best for anyone that wishes to accessorize his rifle while also retaining a lightweight handguard. You have enough space for the “standard” complement of accessories–backup front sight, flash light, IR laser, sling swivel on the stud, and a bipod on the bottom. Alternatively, you could choose to use the sling swivel as a bipod mount instead, as there are several bipods that mount onto this kind of swivel. I’m also a fan of the barrel nut’s attachment system. After torquing on and timing the barrel nut, the handguard threads on separately, and is secured using a jam nut which screws is threaded to turn in the opposite direction of the handguard. This allows the user to precisely orient the handguard to the desired orientation, and simply tighten the jam nut to secure it–a very flexible and relatively hassle-free system.
