Did not come with barrel nut and Brownells is out of stock

Terrible barrel nut design
Doesn’t come with barrel nut. Must purchase separately. The barrel nut doesn’t include the proper wrench and is difficult to align for proper tolerances

Nope!
I give a poor rating not against Brownells but Aero Precision. Why build a rail that is specific to your barrel nut and then have said barrel nut out of stock at every possible vendor. If you don't have an enhanced Aero upper don't buy this rail. You will end up looking for their barrel nut that is out of stock everywhere. Don't expect communication from Aero either. I tried multiple phone calls, emails, and live chats but they were ALL unanswered. Thankfully Brownells accepted my return and did so with ease. Again this rail DOES NOT come with the barrel nut needed to mount.
