9mm Lever Release

[NoEntry]

I know a lot of people have removed the SGC barrel nut and replaced it with a std one, allows all sorts of AR forends to b fitted.

I am toying with he idea myself in order to fit a lighter weight forend.

It comes off very easily.

I'll have to get a barrel nut now, are they all the same fitting/thread or (knowing my luck) is the SGC something weird again? Brownells and Midway US have them from $8 and I could get one shipped to my friend in Florida and get him to post it over for me.

My SGC - albeit a lowly .22 - has a standard thread to the upper.
I bought it 2nd-hand in M4 configuration - but have chucked the A-post unit & swapped the M4 handguards for a neater free-float type.

Gave the old M4 handguards to my mates son - but made a desk lamp out of them first!! He was quite pleased

The receiver thread is mercifully standard so once you get a standard barrel nut on there you can chop and change hand guards to your hearts content!

DM and I swapped over his front end and he had a replacement nut to fit at the same time.

[phaedra1106]

So either of those nuts would do the job?, anything else needed?

[Ovenpaa]

The correct wrench to do the new one up, the old one comes off with a big set of grips in the absence of the correct tool however it will mar the outer thread.
