• LENGTHS: Measured from tip of end cap to end of jam nut (i.e. fully-installed length). Note:The listed lengths (i.e. 7″, 9″, 12″, 15″) of the Blade refer to the long side of the handguard. The shorter side is always 1.15” shorter than that for all blade handguards.
• AR-10 BARREL NUT INSTALLATION: The large piece of the nut with the gas tube hole in it goes with the flat side towards the upper receiver, and the side with the smooth recess goes towards the muzzle. It does not need to bottom out against the upper. The inner ring – the piece that looks like a bicycle gear -needs to be tightened against the barrel extension collar. While this ring does need to make contact with the barrel collar, it should not be bottomed out against the barrel nut body.
