I have a M&amp;P 15 and am putting a Troy Free Float quad rail on it. Is the correct type of free float nut required?

The Troy Alpha and Bravo Battlerails use this stock type barrel nut. The Troy Standard and TRX Extreme Battlerails come with a proprietary nut and wrench. The new Troy Delta rail works with the stock barrel nut, front sight and flash hider and doesn't require removal of any of those items. I have the Troy Extreme on my personal AR and it works great!

Absolutely. It was expressly designed to be used with the "Mil-Spec" adjustable stock. Just be aware that it take a bit of effort to get on. My recommendations is to put it into a bowl of hot (not boiling but hot as your tap water can get) and let it sit in the bowl with the water flowing over it until it is the same temperature as the water. Use a bit of dish soap to coat the insides with dish soap and have a plastic scraper or spreader from the hardware store with all the sharp edges smooth off handy. It just goes right on if you do that. One warning though. If you intend to mount any "cheek weld saddles" to the stock be aware that they will NOT go on correctly if you already have the Limbsaver in place and you aren't going to be able to get the Limbsaver on if you have something like that already mounted to your stock. You WILL have to modify a couple of areas of the Limbsaver by trimming to get both it and the "Stock Saddle" on. However, I did it and have ran a LOT of round through since and have had NO problems.

I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt. I believe the mount is aluminum and like guns that have an aluminum receiver you need to use locktite and not over tighten. My buddy and I both have the same mount -one on a pre 64 the other a post 64. Neither of us had any trouble mounting this unit and neither has had any issues or needed adjustments since sight in (using the same load/bullet). I had to use locktite to make the mounts on my mini 14 stay on too and they're steel (good steel), so it doesn't matter which material you're going to have to use locktite anyways. I know sometimes you get a bad unit but I haven't seen one yet. People's mechanical skills vary keep that in mind.

Hi there, I'm not too sure mate is the answer. I have an NHM90 (Chinese AK) and I found that the screw end on the buttstock was about 3-4mm short, so I will need to taker it to a gunsmith to have a second hole drilled and tapped. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It has both a replacement stock w/recoil pad attached and a forend grip. You still need to buy an aftermarket action slide tube AND nut in order to install the Hogue forend. Some people require that but some don't, if the metal side bars on your factory forend are attached permanently, then it's one piece, and you need the tube/nut.

Yes, it should replaced the M4 stock and use the buffer tube with out issues but not sure about a fixed stock. I used it on the m&p15t;

You have to remove the sling attachment, but the rail has a sling attachment of its own. My ar15 has a single point swivel location near the stock, so I used that as I much prefer a single point sling anyway. As I said though you can still use a two point sling if desired.

If it is a recent buy, it should have the swivel studs already installed on the gun and you should be fine. If not, you can always buy the studs and install them yourself. You can get them practically anywhere that sells gun supplies, including here on Amazon. I'm only familiar with a Marlin 336 and 336W, and they have them installed already. Here they are on here... Uncle Mike's 115 RGS Sling Swivel Wood Screw Set, One each 1/2-Inch and 3/4-Inch Screws . The strap is adjustable, so it should be fine with a .30-30.

Ha Ha, I had to go look. There is two allen head screws holding each one on. Not sure what it looks like without then, but I think I will find out. I'm not a fan of all that either. The AR it's on, I removed the quad rail and put MagPul back on. It's a carbine. Looks better and it's half pound lighter.

From a little bit of research through forums, it sounds like it should given that the barrel nut teeth are located on the forward (muzzle) end of the slip ring like most AR setups. Sorry that I can't give a definite answer, I don't currently own a .308 AR.

it depends on where you want to mount it its not required to put it on a quad rail it mounts on any of the rails

It would depend on your stock material as I had installed on a single shot bolt action w/a wood stock. I drill holes in the stock near the butt plate, fore grip and sunk the bucket almost flush with the stock both front and rear. Your issue with the 500 is mounting the quick release bucket on the pump action and that's a problem because you're going to want to have your front quick release on the fed tube or the barrel and these have no ability to mount that way.

No. These require a picatinny rail mount. Adding the mount will in most cases require drilling of the stock for second bolt hole as well as purchase of the picatinny rail adapter and hardware that is sold separately.

It will fit the rifle, however, some free float tubes require a special barrel nut for the threads on the inside of the tube.

You can attach it directly to any pickatanny rail. Not sure what you are attaching it to I have mine on an AR-15. If it's a pistol you plan to attach it to Yankee Hill makes a good dovetail you can find those at Midway.

I had absolutely no problem removing the nut off the front sight of my Glock, and also adequately torqued it back down when installing mepros. I suppose it would depend on your application, but it was perfect for my situation.
