Are you attaching this handguard to a standard threaded upper receiver?
The Handguard Barrel Nut (shims included) is available on our Spare Parts page unless otherwise stated. Our handguards use either the DPMS/Aero or Armalite interface and do not work with a standard barrel nut. If you are using our M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver, no additional pieces are needed.
*Please note – This handguard is specific to the M5 .308/M5E1 platform. It is not compatible with the AR15/M4E1 platform.
