No problem though I have more info for ya. Read this before dropping $300 on the rail!
Here is the rail itself. Basically a simple piece of metal... Very light, very strong.
This is the barrel nut. You can see the retaining ring I added to put some more material inbetween the nut and the barrel. Its a little tight thus the bowing of the ring.
Barrel flush with the ring inside the nut. This is what the assembly will ultimately be once the nut is screwed on the upper receiver.
This is what the entire rail will look like.
Barrel on the upper receiver. Note the little channel I cut to route the wires through. The barrel nut is a perfect circle leaving
zero room for the wires. You will need to add it.
Screw the nut on. Slide the rail on top. I line it up to the back...
Crank down the screws on the top.
...Installed. Not hard, but not quite clockwork.
Cheers. Good luck!
