[@aaronberger7141]

Great videos, I am really enjoying this build series as you have went with many of the same parts I'm using in my build. Keep up the great work.

When you think you've spent a lot on building..then the tools come in. Lol

[@fishxfryed945]

Trying to pick either another atlas r rail or this rail for the 14.5 pinned upper I want sense it will be permanent sense my 14.5 upper will be my light weight upper how slimmer is compared to a atlas with a rail and weight?

Nice handguard

[@thelonestarpatriot]

Thanks, brother!

[@182QKFTW]

Thanks for the torque specs!! Couldn't find them anywhere. An AP rep at Shot Show said barrel nut to 55 lb-ft in another video I saw for the m4e1 fyi

[@thelonestarpatriot]

182QKFTW You’re welcome, brother.

How do i find replacement set screws i lost one?

[@chrish5224]

Great vid! Question...I bought my are several years ago. All I know about the upper reciever is that it is a bcm. Looking to buy this handgaurd while on sale but not sure if it will work with my upper reciever. when buying this hand guard it gives the option of choosing for a standard reciever or enhanced reciever. How do I know what kind reciever i have? Thnks

[@NikhilJoshi88]

Choose standard. Enhanced is a line of aero upper receivers. You don't have that

[@chrish5224]

@@NikhilJoshi88 Thank you!

[@Ak4yourface]

I got my handguard just now and realized I didn't get a barrel nut, is this normal?

[@jasonbridwell2221]

Those are not set screws. And for those planning on ordering an AP upper this is the enhanced version. If you get the standard E4m1 upper you will have to buy the enhanced barrel nut

[@johnnyosborne6334]

Barrel nut $20.00 with handgard $40.00 without

[@ej2659]

Can you tell me what the torque spec is for the barrel nut. I'm guessing its the normal 30- 60 ft/lbs. Just wanted to see if it was any different with this upper. Thanks

[@tailgunner8124]

25 inch lbs I believe. It's on Aero's website

[@anthonygonzales6029]

What color is that?

[@am_-pz4dl]

What type/size bit fits the set screws?

[@stevenk113]

T10

[@brett7761]

Mine isn't seating that easy. I'll probably have to grind on the anti rotation

Preach it, brother!

[@joeygay7115]

What finish is on the aero? Did I miss it?

[@thelonestarpatriot]

Joe Gay It’s a Spartan Worn Cerakote finish that was used on a limited run by Aero for their monthly builder sets but it should be available by most offering Cerakote.

[@jnoxsel2199]

There is an allen head set screw that comes with this receiver/handguard combo that I can't figure out, and wasn't addressed in you video. It is covered when the hand guard is installed, but even if advanced all the way in, it is in the way when you go to slide the hand guard over the M4E1 receiver. Any help would be appreciated

[@thelonestarpatriot]

Can you post a picture of the set screw location on the upper receiver on my FB page? There shouldn't be anything impeding the handguard from sliding over the barrel nut and seating flush against the upper.

[@Everyday_Railroading]

aluminumfetish - Yes , you're correct. Keeps dust cover pin from backing all the way out. Or remove the set screw to take the dust cover pin out if replacing dust cover
