How to Install an ATLAS Handguard

are the m4e1 hand guard and m5e1 hand guard same size / bolt up pattern the same or different?

does the wrench extension come with the purchase of an assembled upper?

What kind of anti seize grease did you use ?

Very nice video. Short and to the point 👍

Great video! It is quite easy to adsemble that handguard. Aero Precision rocks!

No barrel dimple? And does it matter what kind of anti seize? I like the copper colored stuff.

What size is the wrench extension?

Does the

Aero Precision AR15 15in ATLAS S-ONE M-LOK Handguard Still come with the wrench extension?

It looks like my Atlas R-one nut is able to screwed down onto the upper by hand. I’m not sure if there’s gonna be enough thread left for torquing to 35-45 lbs ft?

I thought the barrel nut didn’t need indexing

Thank you! This video is a huge help.

Sadly my ATLAS Taper Locks came with one missing threads on the inside preventing me from installing. Hopefully Aero will send out a new set to me

Thank you.

The part you left out is how do you tighten or what is the purpose of the little Allen head set screw that locks the wedge in place as it has teeth on it for that reasoning and a Allen screw to insure it doesn't turn loose, Just throw this Allen set screw away???
The correct term is the wedge nut lock (The purpose of the set screw is to keep wedge nuts and screw from backing off), A Coworker explained it in much better detail and covered the item I was inquiring about

Just dry fitting my barrel nut, I notice that my gas tube clears the nut even without one of the notches being top dead center. Is this something anyone else has noticed with theirs?

I'm stoked. Ordered one of these and wasn't sure if it came with the nut. Now I now I'm set! Can't wait!

Ordered an atlas r one fde 9” from midway and the t15 tool doesn’t even fit the t15 screw lmao

How can you tell if your gas port on the barrel is perfectly aligned with the gas port on the gas block?

Gov profile 🤢

Just purchased my 2nd Atlas handguard. Awesome work Aero Precision 👍

Installed a atlas r-one on my m5 can’t get the handguard too but up against the receiver. Did I do something wrong, installed it twice, same results.

Is it OK to just butt the gas block onto the barrel shoulder like what you did? My experience with Aero gas block and Aero barrel is that the gas port has a distance of 0.295 from the shoulder doesn’t just get centered in the block when butted to the barrel shoulder. If so, what is usually an acceptable deviation? Thx

Can’t even pay for background music lmao

I see it . All clear. You guys ROCK!

I’m trying to take mine off because the exterior of my barrel is dirty and the one side won’t come off

Know the vid is old but cna anyone tell me where i can buy one of the tools for the taper lock?

"Skipped" showing an important step, tighten and loosen the barrel nut 3 times to season the aluminum threads so they don't come loose down the road and give you a more accurate torque value.

Love your parts, have used them on many builds.

I have an atlas one hand guard for your 308 model and can't seem to find a barrel nut wrench for it. Didnt come with it when it shipped so I bought an ar 15 one and it doesn't work. I got fucked

Nice channel, looking forward to more uploads! I recommend smzeus . c o m to promote your channel.

Does it come with the wrench?

How do you determine the number of shims needed?

My ALICE handguard thanks you

Not as awesome as the M4E1 enhanced, but still pretty cool.

Fantastic information ! The only thing I do different that you didn't show is I dimple my barrel using a dimpling jig for precise alignment of the gas block over the gas port. And for me when I torque the gas block set screws I use a touch of red Loctite and torque to 35 inch pounds.

That's how fast I assemble my uppers too…

Aside from the indexing barrel nut, pretty cool.

Great video, I learned something new today! Any chance you can do one for a stripped M4E1 lower build, pretty please? Thanks!

Yeah babe !!! 😂😂😂
