Geesh will they ever convert to a similar barrel nut between all manufacturers ? I get tired of all the proprietary crap you gotta buy a wrench for this one and that one. I wish I had CNC mill right about now I’d make one for all applications and make millions and retire and build all their different uppers with my patented wrench.

End rant

I can have you a file ready for CNC programming by lunch tomorrow... you've just got to get everyone to buy into a common barrel nut.

I only want 20%.

There are several manufacturers that offer rails that work with the standard nut.

Also a lot of manufacturers include the necessary wrench.

You got a problem with deez nutz?

They all have to make a buck and try and keep you brand loyal. It worked for Apple!
