Barrel Nut

Is there A barrel nut that the Gas tube does not pass through.

There are not any that I’m aware of. Why?

My Noveske’s gas tube passes over the top of the sws barrel nut not sure if your looking to get a new rail or not?

The gas tube passing through a hole or scallops in the barrel nut prevents the nut from coming off during use.

I too am curious why you would not want one to do that.

It’s going to vary by rail system, isn’t it?

Yeah, it will. I had forgotten about the Noveske, even though I have one.

On DD RISII, Omega X, Lite rails, SWS/Noveske rails, KAC URXII and URXIII don’t have bbl nuts where the gas tube passes through the bbl nut.
