I cannot recommend this product. I purchased this rail last year, with the idea that being able to use the stock barrel nut would be convenient and require less proprietary tools to install. I was wrong.
1. In order to properly remove the factory hand guard retaining system, you still need to remove the stock barrel nut. You can cut them off with a dremel, but you risk marring the finish on the upper or barrel if you slip. It is also wasteful because you are destroying multiple parts.
2. I could not get the handguard to sit straight on my factory barrel nut, even if I tried to bridge the handguard to the upper receiver using a detachable carry handle. I emailed Troy, and they told me to try another barrel nut. This meant I was still required to buy the tools necessary to remove the factory barrel nut, and buy a new one. After replacing the barrel nut, the Troy handguard sat reasonably straight, but not perfect.
3. I probably removed and installed the handguard a dozen times, trying to get things straight. The anodizing on these rails is pretty thin and scratches easily. After all of the troubleshooting, the handguard is marked up more than I would've liked. The finish on the screws is worn off a decent amount too. Just not the look I wanted for installing a brand new product on a brand new rifle.
4. The product comes with multiple rails, but no standalone QD sling mount(Thats $40 extra). It comes with a large rail that has a QD mount on it, but to mount it where it would be optimal is impossible because they positioned the mounting hole right over the gas block. Also, to mount the rails, you have to remove the handguard. There no way to slip the hardware past the gas block.
5. The mounting system is questionable.
With all of that said, the rail looks good, is lightweight, and very comfortable. It's a shame it has so many issues, I just wish that they made this exact rail with a proprietary barrel nut that allowed the rail to mount straight and solid.
