Aeroshell goes on the threads of the upper receiver, between the barrel nut and upper. I don’t believe it’s needed in between the handguard and the nut. But I don’t see it causing any problems.
I'm all about the quad rail. All my AR's have 20 inch barrels and 15 inch quad rails. I just grabbed a MI rail to replace a lesser quality rail on one of my AR's
I genuinely do not understand why you applied grease to the barrel nut... that is a lubricant and Midwest supplies adhesive for that application. It’s not supposed to ever rotate on the barrel but and you just applied lubricant to it... don’t get it.
I mentioned this in another comment. This was for demonstration purposes and it was taken off after to be installed on another build. and I use my own sleeve retainer.
I got a 9.5" long Midwest Industries combat T rail a couple months ago for my Bushmaster MOE carbine, and I love it so far! I put on a low profile gas block a few years ago, and with my carbine length gas tube I got so lucky because my low profile gas block just barely fits under the handguard and the length is perfect too; it just covers the gas block. I just chose a random length too! In retrospect I kinda wish that I would have bought an M lok handguard instead, just because that would be lighter.
@@TheWatchFrogs I also got a Midwest Industries muzzle brake. It was only 30 bucks, but with my Daniel Defense stock there is pretty much zero felt recoil now!
Very cool video! I've been debating between going with the 15 inch combat rail or the slim line rail from Midwest Industries for my M&P Sport II. Both look nice, indeed. Thanks!
Please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but this should work with an RF-15 right? I haven’t modified my rifle yet and I just want to check before dropping the money for it 😂
If you don’t think weights an issue then you’ve never spent extended amounts of time in the field with your rifle. Why do you think the US sapped to the M16 from the M14 in Nam
I had a no name billet upper and it didn’t work. Went and got a VLTOR upper and it mated up beautifully for my mk18. Love it so much I want to put the 15inch on my recce set up
it does, it comes with everything, even a little tool to torque down the barrel nut, I accidentally installed it before filming :( this is GTG, I put tons of MI products on various guns, even on an AK.
@@SayLess. contact the seller and ask them. Nicely if you can have it. Next email midwest industries with images of the handgaurd and ask them. Nicely if they can send you a barrel nut given the circumstances. I dont know the name of the barrel nut exactly, but the barrel nut does come with it, when I bought the handgaurd brand new, the barrel but was inside the handgaurd.
You're better off asking the manufacturers of quad rails like midwest, UTG and Daniel defense, their users and employees probably have a better idea. If you want to figure it out yourself you gotta get the lengths of the suppressor and barrel and then the length of the quad rail you want and go from there and determine how far out you want the can to protrude. Too many variables, not all cans are the same length, crush washers and shims and other adapters might change the look of the "flushed" aesthetic. Wish I was more useful 😪
Weight adds up. I have an old AR that I built about 16 years ago or so and it is way to heavy. I mean like it's about 13 lbs with a loaded mag. I would like to see you put on a 70 lb backpack, a set of level IV plates, all your spare mags, and then strap a 13 lb rifle to yourself. Better yet, I would like to see you hold a rifle that heavy in a shooting position for a few minutes.
The only MI rail I'd consider purchasing. I don't have a thing against MI, but I generally don't like their design. This is literally a 1:1 clone of the FCD, DD, LMT, ect. Great design, looks fantastic. Doing a new build and ya know, I think I may purchase this.
You got the lifetime tube of grease too huh. Best video on this rail on TH-cam I have A very similar setup so I think you just sold me on the MI rail thank you.
hello friend. I gotta make an amendment video because I didn't make myself clear or communicate something clearly. the barrel nut is supposed to coated in green sleeve retainer. MI rail provides this. The reason I used grease was because this was for demonstration purposes and I ended up putting the rail on a different rail. I should have made that more clear. But it gets installed all the same :) thank you for the kind words. Read the manual!
Already explained it in another comment. I did what I did cause it was coming right off. I still haven't used the green sleeve retainer that came with my handgaurd, I use permetex
Anyone have advice I have a 10.3 ballistic advantage upper that’s complete if I remove the atlas hand guard and replace it with the Midwest industry 9” handguard without replacing the barrel nut will it just be plug and play and tighten the 2 screws?
I would advise you change the castle nut as well. Unless it uses the exact same barrel nut, I recommend changing all the hardware and abiding by the instructions from Midwest industries
Yes it should. Feel free to email aero precision and confirm, but I'm almost certain that the specs for the upper are almost identical to the milspec upper receivers
please read the instructions and do not put grease on the barrel nut like the moron that I am. I made an amendment video about that. The instructions for midwest industries is really clear. I love this rail :)
Depends on the purpose, like anything. You don’t want to try to dual purpose ultralight and long range, and end up with a shoulder pounding .308 pistol.
Yes, finally. Someone willing to call out the wimps for b!tching about weight. Keep your pack light enough and you wont care if your rifle weighs 9-10 lbs.
Weight is obviously subjective. I belive that the gun should be built for a purpose. If your purpose is to build a small or highly portable rifle... then keeping weight down should be something you should be trying to achieve, if you're building more of a SPR/DMR rifle, then more weight might actually benefit the rifles accuracy and flow up shots.
I explained this multiple times. This handgaurd was going on a different build but I wanted to do a video, but I wasn't going to put sleeve retainer on it. I wanted it to come off easier when I disassembled so I out grease on it lol I also did an amendment video explaining my horrible communication skills. I've installed dozens of this and have never put grease or oil on it except this specific handgaurd in this video. I even put a disclaimer in the description a long time ago. I probably should delete the video, but oh well

Exactly same here, just finished a 11.5 build with a MI rail.
20 inch barrels with quad rails is way of the true giga chads

Dude....awesome. just ordered a 10 inch quad for an 11.5 build. Love me some quad rail
I just did the same for mine lol... Same length
What is the actual size of the 10 inch handguard? Does alot of ur barrell still show?
Drop a link with a pic if u can please
Great personality, made this very entertaining to watch in addition to being helpful
What is the purpose of putting grease on the outside of the barrel nut???????
its because I test out a lot of products and swap out stuff often.
midwest industries usually provides green adhesive or green sleeve retainer.
10-4 thks for the review
Does the muzzle end of this rail have a "bob" cut of the bottom?
I fucking love quad rails!

Why are you putting grease on the exterior of the barrel nut. LOL
I explained this in other comments. It was coming off later and I even made a video explaining my mistake :(
Just had mine installed and I love it. I have so much more space now👍
So much more room for activities!
Why in the world would you put grease on the outside of the barrel nut?
@@knifelover73 i explained this in an amendment video.
please do not do this for anyone watching.
So this doesn’t come with a barrel nut? Or it does
it does, it comes with everything, even a little tool to torque down the barrel nut, I accidentally installed it before filming :(
this is GTG, I put tons of MI products on various guns, even on an AK.
BadBoySwag420 is the nut aluminum or steel?

What quad length is need for a flush look with a can on it for a 10.5 -11.5 barrel should I go 13 or 14 quad?

Willl the barrel nut come with the Handguard
Yes it does
Is this a kid length low profile gas system, I just ordered a 12 inch and curious to know the fit
What?
If you meant mid, no, rifle length
I agree with the Gold's gym part, lol, well said
When you mentioned too heavy I said “only pussies think that” then you said it in the video I nearly shit my self laughing 😂
What length was this hand guard ?
15 inches :)
I'd buy one just for the nostalgic m4/416 look ngl
They're Worth it. I got two midwest industries quad rails, they're amazing :)
What kind of hand fore grip is that?
Magpul angle grip :)
@@TheWatchFrogs thanks!
Anyone have advice I have a 10.3 ballistic advantage upper that’s complete if I remove the atlas hand guard and replace it with the Midwest industry 9” handguard without replacing the barrel nut will it just be plug and play and tighten the 2 screws?

What length of barrel is that?
16 inch ATI barrel, carbine profile
Does anyone know if this will fit on an ar10?? Looking to pick one up for mine
I'm not entirely sure, I'd email midwest industries or check to see if they make specific handguards for the AR10, which is likely the case here.
Does anyone know if this rail will fit on a aero precision m4e1 upper
Yes it should. Feel free to email aero precision and confirm, but I'm almost certain that the specs for the upper are almost identical to the milspec upper receivers
@@TheWatchFrogs Bett thank you and that probably something I should do

@@TheWatchFrogs 👍
This guy sounds like Charlie Day lmao. Nice video tho! I made the decision to go with the MI 15" quad rail. 🙏
Hell yeah more people need to hear that. THey are just weak, literally all it is a couple ounces more than mlok/keymod
lovely video
I would rather carry less weight in rifle and more weight in ammo. The lighter the better in my opinion, as long as you aren't decreasing reliability.
Depends on the purpose, like anything. You don’t want to try to dual purpose ultralight and long range, and end up with a shoulder pounding .308 pistol.
Or just be stronger?
Yes, finally. Someone willing to call out the wimps for b!tching about weight. Keep your pack light enough and you wont care if your rifle weighs 9-10 lbs.
Would this work well with a colt ar15a4? With the fixed a2 front sight?
Are you Canadian?
Canadians can't have guns
@@thatonedude926 Yes they can lmao. Just no the types we can have in America.
@@Bern009OB oh, I thought for sure they couldn't. Probably just 6 shooters, shotguns and bolt actions?
