Hey all. I just got my first key mod accessory for my Noveske NSR and I can't figure out how to attach it. It should be simple but it just won't get tight. Does the little cut in the nut face forward or backwards? What am I doing wrong?

The "toe" of the nut faces towards the front. Depending on the accessory orientation you may need to loosen the screw and reverse the nut.
AFAIK that particular SLR part you have is meant to be installed the other way, since the forward facing side is vertical and has the teeth for use as a barricade stop.
The keymod nut has a cutout that should face forwards. The accesory goes in the slot and then gets pushed forward until it stops. On some Keymod accessories the nut is captivated so it won't rotate (like a BCM vert grip). On others (like MI rail covers), it can turn around on you.
If the nut is only a little looser than needed for install, you can feel it kind of click into place.
For those of you in Rio Linda. VVVVVVV

Yes, the keymod nut must be facing in the correct direction, and be sure to seat it all the way forward before tightening. It is somewhat easy to think it is all the way forward when it isn't.
As for that SLR handstop, it is reversible, so I assume the keymod nut is reversible as well?
That should be a piece of cake to install. Especially compared with the snap in Noveske covers and stops. :) It took me a few minutes to figure that one out. T&B has a great video on youtube regarding keymod installation. I'll see if I can find the link for you.
