Vertex Ops is happy to announce the newest addition to our high-end lightweight AR-15 product line-up!
-Introducing the Vertex Ops 1.34oz 7075 Billet NSR Handguard/Rail Barrel Nut, compatible with the Noveske NSR Handguard
-Our barrel nut is approx. 55% LIGHTER than the standard steel NSR barrel nut and in our opinion it is much cooler looking with the laser marked Vertex Ops skull logo!
-Only $39 (Does NOT ship with barrel nut wrench. The Vertex Ops Wrench can be purchased separately for Only $13.75)
There are others in the works…but we will most definitely take a look at this one although it appears that the barrel nut their handguards ship with are already aluminum so depending on what’s possible there may or may not be as noticeable of a weight saving as there is going from a steel or even titanium barrel nut to 7075 Billet Aluminum.
If you own one of the ALG’s do you happen to know the weight of the barrel nut it ships with?
Has anyone gotten ahold of one of these NSR barrel nuts? I am convinced the Noveske site has a typo for the weight of the NSR barrel nut at “2oz.” My barrel nut came on an upper bought two years ago and it looks identical to the picture and weighs a little over 3oz.
not for my rifle though as my barrel isn’t particularly “light”.
